The NMMA Certified label on a Manitou boat lets you know it was built to meet and often exceed industry quality and safety standards for critical components such as electrical systems, powering, flotation, fuel systems and navigation lights. Certified boat models must also pass rigorous annual inspections from independent third-party inspectors. According to U.S. Coast Guard statistics NMMA Certified boats have fewer recalls due to safety issues than non-certified boats.

Sport Handling Package
Manitou 2010 Model Preview
Imagination turned into reality
The Sport Handling Package is Unbelievable, even after seeing it for yourself. It looks innocent until it starts to move. Think of a fine-tuned sports car. The V-Toon hull provides incredible maneuverability and is capable of figure 8s and hairpin turns with a stability that's uncanny.
What is the Manitou Sport Handling Package (SHP)?
It's a unique combination of Manitou's V-Toon hull and a powerful performance steering system. The SHP provides the most amazing maneuverabiliy ever imagined with a pontoon boat.
On the outboard SHP models, the center tube diameter has been increased to 27" while the outside tubes are 23". Plus, relative to the deck, the center tube is mounted lower than the outside tubes.
The result is a boat that achieves better hole shots and higher top end speeds due to the added lift and increased planing surface designed into the V-Toon hull.
Several components work together, making a unique vessel
Manitou has used its 20 years experience in pontoon design to provide a package that delivers performance previously not seen on high horsepower pontoon boats.
- All Manitou SHP models are underskinned triple tube models which feature a center tube which is larger than the outside tubes.
- This center tube is mounted lower than the outside tubes, preventing ventilation during sharp turning.
- Lifting strakes are standard on the inside and outside of all three tubes, allowing for quicker planing and better hole shot.
- The final component of the Manitou SHP is a Sea Star Hydraulic Steering System with power assist unit.
The handling of a V-bottom boat and the floor space of a pontoon have finally come together.
