BRP Inc. announced fully redesigned Manitou, Alumacraft and Quintrex boats featuring the all-new Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology. Disappearing under the boat, and engineered not to be seen or felt, this new engine technology is a game-changer. The model year 2023 Manitou, Alumacraft and Quintrex lineups also stand out due to their seamless, holistic and daringly innovative design from bow to stern.

The result is a truly integrated boat that frees up valuable space for boaters and their families, and that pushes the design to stunning new heights. BRP completely rethought, reimagined, and redesigned the engine for its boats. The new Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology is initially offered in 115 and 150 hp configurations.

It delivers the same advantages of a traditional outboard engine — such as price, performance, handling, ease of maintenance, and full trim — with additional benefits: it's hidden, it's quiet and it's efficient. Partially submerged underwater, hidden under the boat, the engine is smooth and quiet at any speed. It doesn't block the way at the stern and therefore frees up valuable space.

The Rotax Outboard Engine is also efficient, allowing for up to 20% improved fuel efficiency compared to traditional outboard engines. What's more, it is the cleanest combustion outboard engine in its class, with a 12% reduction in reportable emissions, and a 98% reduction in carbon monoxide at idle compared to leading outboard engine brands. The new Manitou pontoons and Alumacraft and Quintrex boats have been crafted for an optimal integration of the new Rotax Outboard Engine with Stealth Technology for an unrivalled experience that will wow boaters and their families.

Competitively priced within their segments, these new model year 2023 lineups offer incredible value and will be irresistible to any consumer in the market for a boat. The new Manitou Cruise (20', 22', and 24') and Explore models (22', 24' and 26') break away from the sea of sameness that has defined the pontoon segment for decades. The innovative design features a bold, modernized, easy to maintain exterior due to an aluminum transformation process traditionally only used in the luxury automotive industry.

The exterior bow area is also very distinctive, with its new Manitou lighting signature encompassing the navigation lights and providing even more character. The forward-leaning Sport Bimini puts the final touch to create an elevated visual appearance. The unique interior is also second to none.

The helm area has been completely redesigned with ergo-specialists and design experts to convey functionality, simplicity, and modernity. The sleek new MAX Deck platform, that simply doesn't exist on any other pontoon, unlocks 38 square feet of additional usable space meaning more comfort, and more possibilities for recreation at the stern. With flexible layout selections and seating configurations, and a class-leading helm and dash including a Garmin digital dashboard and a Fusion stereo as standard options, captains will take control for the perfect day on the water.
