Sneak Peek 2024: Manitou MAX Power and Control

Last year, BRP shook up the industry with the award-winning Manitou Explore and Rotax S outboard engine. For model year 2024, the all-new Manitou Explore MAX Dual Engine models come with twice the power, thanks to twin Rotax S150 outboard engines for a whopping 300 horsepower. The Manitou Explore MAX preserves the timeless and modern styling of the Manitou pontoons launched in model year 2023.

New for model year 2024, the Manitou Explore MAX Dual Engine is offered in 24- and 26-foot lengths. The MAX Deck has been slightly elevated and increased in size to now give more than 6 feet of usable, unobstructed space at the stern. 

The Manitou Explore MAX Dual Engine, rigged with dual Rotax S150’s, offers the same key benefits of a single Rotax S; better fuel economy, less emissions, reduced noise and ease of maintenance, compared to traditional outboard engines, with the added benefit of iDock, the fully integrated joystick piloting system. 

iDock provides 360 degrees of docking confidence and comes standard on all Manitou Explore MAX Dual Rotax S150 models. The intuitive piloting system puts advanced aircraft gyroscope sensor technology into the fingertips of boaters of all experience levels, allowing them to easily maneuver their boat for easy docking even in the toughest conditions. Because Manitou believes 100 percent of boaters deserve 100 percent docking confidence, this advanced feature comes standard on all Manitou Explore MAX dual Rotax S150 models.
