impactwas obvious.
“It’s been huge,” VanWagenen said. “When
we had just the triple-toon pontoons and
then just started with V-Toon, our
production was about 7 percent three-tube
pontoon boats and 93 percent twin-tubes,
and right now today we’re at 75 percent V-
Toons and 25 percent traditional twin-tube
models. It’s just completely turnedover.”
Manitou’s 23-foot Legacy SHP model
placed second on Boating magazine’s “20
Best Pontoon Boats” list, with a review that
celebrated its many above-deck properties,
too.
