Checking out the new Manitou Xplode!!!

#1 Post by Monte Reagan » Fri Aug 15, 2014 8:20 am

This pic is of us test running the new 23' Xplode from Manitou. This baby cranked out 52 mph with 4 big boys of over 200lbs. each and will turn on a dime. I can't wait until our new 2015 demo arrives. I will post when it gets here if anyone wants to take a ride.

Those things are awesome. Glad to see some sport toons hitting the market and advancing the image of what the tritoon segment can really be.

How much power to get 52 mph with that kind of load?

They are nice! With a few modifications low 60's are easily reached!

I think I read the max size on a 23" Xplode is 250hp.

We have the 250 Yamaha SHO on it! The boys are unloading the new demo as we speak. Want a test ride?

Monte Reagan, put on a 250 Verado with a Simons Racing upgraded ECM, a Bobs Hydraulic jackplate and you'll have a 60+ mph ride, easily! Need to yell at the boys in Lansing, next and get them on the dual windshield bandwagon... Premier has had it since 2008, PlayCraft and now Bennington introduced new full cockpit models and are gaining on the cold state market!
