New Manitou Encore Series

Manitou's proposition is simple: load up the new Encore models which range from 22' to 26' with thousands of dollars of
options and upgrades and make them all part of the standard package. It is an extension
of a trend we see throughout boating and now it has come to pontoon boats. Today's
pontoon boat buyers are better educated than before on the exciting possibilities,
so Manitou is simply capitalizing on informed consumers who will know a good value
when they see it.

Unveiled at the Manitou dealer meeting this summer, the new for 2009 Encore Series promises to set the bar higher for toons.

Nothing signals quality faster on a pontoon boat than the vinyl seat coverings,
and here Manitou uses the "soft touch" upgrade material. The carpet is 28-oz. Cascade
carpet, which can easily be popped off. No longer are seat backs straight. Now the
Encore series has them angled backward, more like what you'd find in a car or in
your own living room. At the helm you'll find automotive type gauges backlit in
red for night driving that will not impair your night vision. There is also a Dino
steering wheel and an MP3 jack and cradle station.



The outside of the boat has new graphics and directional LED docking lights and
navigation lights built into the bulwarks. The boats are available in four color
choices and come either with the traditional twin toon or SHP hull configurations.
