Manitou’s 2023 lineup features eye-catching, sleek, modern designs and a quieter, more efficient ride with the new Rotax Outboard Engine. The sleek new aesthetic is courtesy of an aluminum transformation process exclusive to Manitou, and a redesigned bow offers a distinctive new lighting signature for navigation and docking lights.
Equipped with the Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology, offered in 115- and 150-hp configurations, new models offer the same advantages of traditional outboards, but with additional space, improved efficiency and a quieter ride. The new MAX Deck platform — available on pontoons equipped with Rotax Outboard Engines — provides 38 square feet of additional space. New switchback seating, a Trifold Bench with two-in-one functionality and a hidden table provide added space and comfort.
“Today, we rise above and introduce two new boat models that will shake the industry with forward thinking design. The new Manitou models are fully optimized and seamlessly integrated so the boat and engine deliver the perfect day on the water. Beyond the progressive and disruptive design cues that we believe will raise Manitou to icon status, we are revealing a boatload of innovations that make the onboard experience a game-changer in the industry,” says Garrett Koschak, global product manager at Manitou.
The redesigned helm features a standard 7-inch Garmin digital dashboard on Cruise models and 9-inch display on Explore models. The forward-folding Standard and Sport Biminis offer up to 12 feet of coverage and are rated up to 50 mph while underway.
