http://www.manitoupontoonboats.com/performance/vtoon | We explore the benefits and features of Manitou’s patented V-Toon technology pontoon boats and compare them verses traditional boats and competitive pontoon boats – Manitou beats the competition.
2. When Manitou set out to make a better, faster, more stylish pontoon boat they
blew the competition out of the water.
Manitou’s patented V-Toon Technology has many companies clamoring to
recreate it but none have come close.
In the next few pages, we’ll take a look at the benefits of what makes V-Toon
pontoon boats so superior.
3. Patented Technology
Other boat manufacturers are touting their V-shape bottoms, but nothing
compares to the technology behind V-Toon .
Manitou’s hulls deliver performance like no other pontoon or traditional boat.
Better Acceleration • Greater Top End Speeds • Improved Stability
4. V-Toon pontoons operate more
like traditional v-bottom
monohulls than other pontoon
boats on the market.
Manitou hulls are designed to
heel and as the speed increases
this ensures that the ride will be
comfortable and safe.
No other pontoon can claim
that.

5. The
Center Tube
The center tube makes all the difference. If it were one inch
higher or lower the ride quality, safety, handling, and speed
would be compromised.
Size matters – the center tube is a little larger than the two flanking it – this
differential was engineered to simulate the water displacement and deadrise of a
standard v-hull boat.
6. Can we compare traditional v-hull boats to V-Toon pontoon boats?
We can, though it doesn’t seem fair for the traditional boats.
The hulls on Manitou boats can heel and bank into turns which gives all the
passengers a smoother, safer excursion.
Also, pontoons provide much more space than their traditional boat brethren.
Traditional Boats
7. Deadrise
Waves and wakes
compete for
energy. At a certain
angle the hull can
repel that energy,
known as deadrise.
All three tubes are
positioned at this
precise angle.
Dynamic Lift
When a boat rises
to the surface of
the water because
the speed has
forced the hull and
water to separate.
Pontoons
Do It Better
8. Flat Bottoms
Three tube pontoons are invariably more stable and float better, but by just adding a
third tube, you aren’t improving how the boat will maneuver or operate in the
water.
The competition tries to duplicate Manitou’s speed and banking by adjusting their
strakes and chines. But these attributes can’t replicate the smooth and agile ride
provided by a v-shaped hull.
9. If you want credible speed
with high stability, go
with the Sport Handling
Package.
These boats are designed
to provide a smooth ride
whether driving at top
speeds or moving in
choppy water.
VPs have most of the
same V-Toon features
as the SHP but are
created to be used at
less forceful speeds.
