Press Release MANTA CATAMARANS OFFERS POWERFUL NEXTGEN GEN-SETS For lightweight, compact and fuel-efficient auxiliary power, Sarasota, Florida-based Manta Catamarans provides customers with Next Generation Power 5.5 and 8.0 kW diesel generators. The state-of-the-art gen-sets are available on the Manta 42 MkIV SailCat and Manta 44 PowerCat. "Since the start of our company, we have manufactured over 120 SailCats and more than 16 PowerCats," said Manta Catamarans owner Dan Even. "Although we offer NextGen generators only as optional equipment, almost every single catamaran we've made features one." Manta Catamarans strives to offer the best catamarans for serious live aboard and extended cruisers. Delivering excellent value, the cats are manufactured to the highest standards on a limited production basis. Developed from owner feedback with thousands of miles sailed, the Manta 42 SailCat employs the Ultra Compact Marine 5.5 kW gen-set. Offering all the same great features as the very successful Manta 42 SailCat, but in a motor yacht, the new Manta 44 PowerCat utilizes the 8.0 kW version. Providing onboard power for the Manta 42 SailCat, the 5.5 kW generator boasts the shortest length of any 5 kW model on the market. Measuring only 25.5"L x 20"W x 22"H, the resilient unit uses NextGen's patented low-profile mounting system. It weighs just 230 lbs. "Next Gen generators are high-quality and powerful pieces of equipment," said Even. "They are durable, yet light - and weight is important on a catamaran." Supplying energy to the Manta 44 PowerCat, the powerful 8.0 kW gen-set runs at mid-speed, peak torque and operates at a comfortable 2,800 rpm. An efficient, 3-cylinder vortex combustion system creates greater energy output with less fuel consumption and cleaner burning exhaust. It weighs only 310 lbs. and measures just 23"L x 18.5"W x 20"H. "I love working with NextGen," said Even. "We have been using their generators for over 10 years now. They respond quickly, offer great service and if there's ever a problem, they take care of it appropriately. I wish we could say the same about other vendors we've had in the past." Headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, Next Generation Power manufactures ultra-compact marine generators from 3.5 kW to 8 kW. The company also produces an extensive range of products for industrial and commercial applications. http://www.nextgenerationpower.com http://www.mantacatamarans.com/ -- # # # When I pass along press releases that I cross my desk, I post them for what they are, publicity releases from power catamaran builders, designers, dealers and others which represent the viewpoint of those same builders, designers, dealers and others.
