Manitou X Plode with twin Mercury 400R Racing Outboards

- Опубліковано 19 сер 2024
- See what Boating World Magazine thinks of the test drive they took on Lake Michigan in the 27 X-Plode XT dual engine with 400 Mercury Racing engines. The captain for the test drive was Willie Young of the Chicago Bears.
When you want a go fast boat but the wife says no get a pontoon boat. Yes dear!
I love the sound of these engines
Now they're putting Twin 450R on them and getting about 77 MPH for $250K large.
Pocket change lol
More impressed with whatever boat was beside it filming
It was a bennington with a single yamaha
Damn thats fast for a pontoon boat these tritoon boats are nice
Fuel consumption and maintenance is a must to seriously consider before owning one because no one in the World dare to say they will be wealthy for ever!
Wow. That would sure wipe the grin off a lot of performance boat owners seeing it coming up from behind. What is that, ....... it's a pontoon !!!
its a Tritune
not really 70mph is slow. Ski boat from 1980's would kill it easily.
davidbrennan5 - 100%. A modest 17ft monohull with a correctly propped 2 stroke 200hp would beat that - and keep the speed up thru the swells
@@gaycha6589 Buddy of mine had a 16 foot checkmate with a V6 Merc on it and a sportmaster lower with 1.87 gears it would turn a 27 pitch prop and the engine would bounce off the limiter. It ran 85-90 mph on radar depending on conditions.
@@davidbrennan5 Wrong, what manufactured ski boat did in the 70s in the 1980s?
My buddies bennington tritoon with a 200 on it felt fast for a tritoon. This is insane
That big girl moving. South bay makes one with the twin 450r. I can't imagine what these must feel like
Bad ass pontoon
mercury is #1 on the water
funny joke
Yeah number one if you like lots of time in the shop
Jon Homrich they are too loud
Lol I prefer evinrude
2 stroke 4 lyf
I like to go 70 mph too. I would have put more HP on my Tritoon but I can't afford the 80 gallons an hour . I would do it like once. That 80 gallons in my neighborhood is going to cost around $360.00.
Crazy cool!
Mercury’s rock !
Avalon is now offering dual 450's.
Fricken fast. I'll stick to my little one .... ty
18' Sun Tracker Bass Buggy w/ a 25hp 😁
That works.
That sucks!
DAMN !!! Holy Guacamole.... Look at that thing go !!!
I am looking at these pontoons and my idea of a viking ship pontoon is looking promising
Emagine stuffing the nose at 50 plus lmao
YUUUUUUP
Then it becomes a submarine
I'm buying three
I thought pontoon boats were for relaxing slow cruises.
Brandon Darnell noreason to waste all your time getting to the spot
Pontoons are party barges. Lmao. I've seen a shit load of variety in the pontoon world. Mini pontoons all the way to luxury pontoons. Tired of one level? No problem. Just add a second floor. Want to jump in the water faster? Just add a water slide or two. Lmao
Google the 100 mph plus pontoon boat!
Cool and Fast.
I need this in my life. Lol
My thoughts exactly !
One nice wave and presto airborne.
While common sense and safety always need to be at the forefront when operating any boat in any conditions, we do have some advice on handling waves: Rather than riding head-on into the waves, cruise so the waves are at a 30 to 45 degree angle from the center of the boat and rather than slowing down when riding into the waves, trim up just before hitting the wave to lift the boat’s bow more. 👍
Saw a boat on the canal and had a sign in it said “no fat people”….I was offended cause I’m fat!
Room for the whole family to haul ass.
Woooo
Willey young!!!
What speed does it take to get enough air under the deck to do a backflip?
Probably around 115 or so.
Do you know how those motors are set/adjusted as far as angle. I’ve got twins on mine. One on each pontoon and nobody seems to know how to angle them for optimum performance. Straight, slightly angled toward each other? I just need a starting point and can fine tune from there. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Now that's a nice pooontoon
So, did Willie buy it or take a pass??
I need.
When you have more money then sense lol
When commenters accept being poor? Follow the fun.
@@60viking sorry about your money problems bro
What’s the point? Out of balance power vs hull capability on a raft.
You might be surprised by the performance you get from Manitou's patented V-Toon technology and our Sport Handling Package, but it's a great ride even at lesser horsepower 😉 www.manitoupontoonboats.com/performance/vtoon/

@@Manitoupontoonboats 🗣🗣🗣🗣🤫
What props are you running with this tritoon.
Why skip to full speed
At 57
72 with 800 horse? You can do better, Manitou
6 million dollar man intro. She's breaking up, she's breaking up. Can't imagine these things not shaking apart after a few seasons.
11 years going strong on my Manitou and not a bolt or screw lost..
2jazzyjeffer Really? Guess these newer high end one's are put together better. My experience with them was during the 80's. They were rattle boxes with 115's on em.
Extremely well built! Would not buy any other brand esp. performance wise!
Ya then that pontoon hits a little wave and does a submarine when it lands and kills everyone on it.
i WAS JUST THINKING THE SAME THING
ecoboost rules You obviously know very little about high performance tri-toon boats. Awaiting your lame and uninformed response.
Dyno Don. Your right bc they don't go up in the air when hitting another wake and then they don't nose dive at all like every other pontoon on the water. For you to come with a smart ass comment like that right away says alot about what you know about boats. Lol. If your gonna say a tri toon doesn't do that in gonna call you a fucking liar, bc I've seen one nose dive under the water and it wasn't going 70 mph. more like 25 maybe 30 and the people go for a hell of a ride. So come on try me.
Oh wow, such strong words for a shallow mind. Spoken just like someone that doesn't own a tritoon, let alone a Manitou. I drove mine all day today and yesterday thru nice size waves w/o a drop from your nose-diving theory.
2jazzyjeffer. So you were out hitting 1-2 foot waves at 70 mph. Lol. Good one.
pontoons blow. come on. we have the technology! tunnel hull with pads, props. not those thru hub bricks, etc. you can do a good job on the cheap too!
98,000$ ?
whatiwant , Yeah each motor + pos boat/fat man's toy
Each motor is around 80k I think.
Sean, Manufacturer's suggested retail price for the Verado 400R ranges from $31,530 to $36,120 with a two-year warranty. Those tri's usually go for $150k
2jazzyjeffer Your rt. Just googled it. Marine 7's are like 130k or so, so was just guessing at 80. Off vy more than double, yeesh. Still 35k is a big chunk of change. :)
I think their a million each!
How much that run ya?
Hi Austin - You can check out price ranges here for the various Manitou models (and even design your own): www.manitoupontoonboats.com/build-your-own-manitou/
228k the way i spec'd one out!
It is a tri toon not a pontoon!
that boat is defantly gunna kill people.
Podrá tirar a un esquiador
What does one of the motors weigh?
DG Cox I think around 600 to 800. Not sure.
DG Cox You can see the rear end squating a bit.
Bradley S. Kool, I was close. :)
Bad, Bad Investment! Boy, they're sure looking to separate a SUCKER from his or her money!!! Buy land!
Why is it only capable of 73mph?? It’s an aluminum beer can with 800hp, something doesn’t add up. I’ve got a 1990 scarab sport with twin 225 Yamaha’s that will do 72mph!
that's right twins these guys don't get it twin 400hp doesn't equal 800 hp lol go ask a coast guard guy was i one hummmmm!!!
Torsten Hranchuk they’re also 4 stroke motors and my 225’s are 2 strokes. I know the new 4 strokes should last longer and get better fuel economy but I prefer the old smokers because they just make more power than the 4 strokes and they’re lighter and they’re much easier to work on because they’re a 1000 times more simple.
take a look at evinrude e-tec 2 stroke's LESS POLLUTION than any modern 4 stroke , way less moveing parts than a 4 stroke and alot more power not just top end either amazing check it out very impressive! hope you find this interesting have a good day!
p.s i bet your boat is alotaa fun!! very nice good on you!
72 on a scarab sport with twin 225s I don't think so. Unless its a 26 I know a guy has 30 scarab sport with new 250 e-tecs and it runs 63-65
Pontoon boats were not meant to go fast unless you're a rich tycoon in love of disposing of your money??.. .
That just doesn't look safe to me.
Can you say 💲💲💲???
@Jesse Mitchell Yea 2x400s you're looking at 200K+
What a waste of good outboard power... That's like having an 800 horsepower 1958 Edsel...
I have to agree. More money than brains.
Not for everyone, but the X-Plode was an extreme sports pontoon model. For those looking for thrilling performance in an aluminum pontoon, it's a great boat... even at lower horsepower 😉 You'll see X-Plode influences in our new 2021 LX model.
@@Manitoupontoonboats 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣😂🤫🤐
I see a spilled margarita somewhere. Pontoon boats are party barges NOT speedboats. Way to screw something good up
The video shows that you are wrong. These turn on a dime too.
Still nowhere near as fast as Roland Martin's brothers toon....over 100mph
So what
We may help you cut cost by manufacturing your products at China, while ensure quality. Our experienced technician team can customize order according to needs.
China and ensure quality, not 2 things I've seen go together.
Because trade marks, patents and child labor mean nothing to the Chinese......
These mercs burn way to much fuel. For me
If that's your concern this isn't the boat for you
stupid boat
