- The Manitou high-performance pontoon boats travel smoothly through choppy water, and they are perfect for navigating the narrow and high traffic parts of the lake.
- The pontoon boats can travel comfortably at 30 to 40 MPH in high traffic areas of the lake. Smaller traditional towboats have to slow down to 20 miles per hour or less to travel safely through busy and narrow parts of the lake.
- The pontoon boats are comfortable and spacious for long days on Lake Powell. The Encore and Xplode pontoon boats are each Coast Guard rated at 13 adults or 1,770 lbs. The interiors are luxurious and comfortable and have bimini covers for shade.
- The range of the boats is up to 150 miles if the boats are driven at 40 MPH or under. The Encore and Xplode Manitou pontoon boats have 88-gallon gas tanks. This means you will not have to stop for fuel during your day trip on the lake.
- The pontoon boats are 25 ft boats which make them safer for large lakes like Lake Powell. These aren’t your normal pontoon’s. The Manitou’s are high-performance pontoon boats and are also tri-toons which makes them very stable and provides superior handling similar to traditional sport towboats.
- Renegade Boat Rentals offers dual engine boats that provide extra security; if you have a problem with one engine, you have a back up to make it back to the marina.
- Each of the dual engine boats offered includes the iDock joystick control system which makes maneuvering and docking at slow speeds extremely easy.
- The pontoon boats can tow tubes, skiers, wakeboarders, and kneeboarders.
