Manitou Seeks Dealers

Attractive Dealer Package

Greg VanWagenen, Director of Marketing and Communications, told us recently that new dealers will receive a large “new dealer” discount program and substantial territory protection.

The 2009 Manitou lineup is redesigned across the board and in August they will unveil a brand new model, the Encore. "The features and creature comforts found on the Encore are normally only found on models that are far more expensive than the model's estimated retail price," VanWagenen said.

Manitou is independently owned and operated since 1986 and packages with all the major motor lines.

Important Considerations

Greg VanWagenen tells us that the company’s “Customer service is second to none. If we can't take the call, we call back normally within the day.”

He goes on to say that when a dealer calls Manitou you get a “real person” and not an automated phone system.

He also said, “We pay the full shop labor rate for warranty reimbursement." He goes on to say that, "Manitou can ship up to 6 pontoons on one truck. Most pontoon companies ship 3 to 5. This is a HUGE freight savings, with diesel at its current price it adds up quickly.”
