Yamaha Shows Off
Latest Products
In June, Yamaha made
some of its latest products
available for testing at a
media event in Baltimore.
Two of Yamaha’s newest
products, the Talon Pontoon
SDS Propeller and the V
F350C outboard (pictured),
were featured. The Talon
Pontoon SDS Propeller is
constructed from polished
stainless steel with large
blades; this provides a smoother
and quieter ride — perfect for
midrange-powered pontoons. The
F350C outboard builds on Yamaha’s
F350, and features variable camshaft
timing (VCT) to optimize engine torque while running
at low rpm; sequential multi-point fuel injection;
less internal stress and friction; and a 5-year limited
warranty.

New Roles at Walstrom Marine
Just because it’s celebrating its 70th
anniversary doesn’t mean Walstrom
Marine is slowing down anytime
soon: The northern Michigan
family-owned business recently made
two changes to its staff. The first
move was internal: The company
promoted Charlie Duray, the service
manager at Harbor Springs, to
general manager at the Cheboygan
location. Duray has been at
Walstrom since 1982, when he joined
the second-generation family-run
business as a delivery captain.
The second staff change brought
some new blood into the company:
Walstrom welcomed University of Akron graduate
Kirsten Buccigrossi to the team as sales and marketing
administrator. Buccigrossi has more than 10 years of
experience in the marine industry and is a licensed
boat captain.
