2015 23’ Manitou Xplode with 250 Evinrude E-Tec

Post by Spine Guy »

Finally was able to find some boat pics. I had to chop and freeze a video lol My dad was recording me coming to pick him up.

We swapped out the Bimini for an electric one. Topped out at 52 on our lake (Mona Lake, MI), she’s a blast but with 2 little girls in the mix, momma wants a head and a better ride out in Lake MI when the chop kicks up. Thus the next ride search is on.

Is nice to have all of that room though. 250 might get the job done. Lol

Great pics SG! What a way to spread out on that baby. I always enjoy making friends on the water with folks who have pontoon boats, lake houses, ski boats, and jet skis (or if you’re MNLb—all of those at once :mrgreen: )

I’m thinking you need a fully loaded 262 now! :D

Nice Manitou! They sell them right up the street from my lake home and I see them all the time. They had one the lot with twin 250hp motors. I told the wife that is the only toon I would ever own.

Ha...still, you have GOT to have some type of CChat forum get together at your place MNLB. It's just too good of a setup my friend.
Heck, put it on AirBnB and my family will rent it out for the entire summer! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
