Re: Have you been for a ride in the new Manitou pontoons?
I see the brochure posted in the thread talked about their V-toon technology. I assume their middle toon is lower in the water, then, right? They used to call their performance oriented toons "SHP" but I do not see SHP mentioned in that flyer. Did they go away from SHP now? Anyone know?

Hmm less than a 1/2 hr from my house. Maybe I'll bring my boat down there and do some back to back comparisons. 
Would like to check out there V-toon setup. This just seems nuts to me:

Hmmm.. they seem kinda slow and not very nimble to me. And lets not get started on where to mount the grill...
