What are some of the advantages of the Manitou SHP?
To understand the SHP advantage, you must first understand how performance pontoons have evolved. A typical pontoon hull is considered a displacement hull, not a planing hull like a fiberglass speedboat. In addition to being far less efficient than a planing hull, a displacement hull does not allow a pontoon to bank gracefully at high speeds. In years past, many pontoon owners with high horsepower motors have been disappointed with their boats’ performance. The Manitou SHP has created a hull design which acts as a planning hull. Hard cornering to the outside has been replaced with a more natural inward banking. The Sea Star Hydraulic Steering with power assist allows you to turn this boat at wide open throttle without any hesitation. This is unlike any pontoon previously on the market. You can have the handling and performance of a fiberglass boat with the stability and floor space of a pontoon.
