Yamaha Motor Australia is pleased to announce record sales after the completion of the 2009 boatshow circuit. The result is not only pleasing for Yamaha but a great sign for the entire industry as more confident consumers return to the market for a new motor or craft to get them on the water this summer.

Each year Yamaha puts substantial time and resources into producing a professional corporate display. This year was no different. In an environment where some manufacturers chose to severely cut their displays, Yamaha once again produced a striking and prominent display showcasing Yamaha’s exciting range of Outboards and WaveRunners.

“When people go to a boat show they want to see professional displays and the latest products,” says Brett Hampson, National Sales and Marketing Manager for Yamaha Outboards, “To deliver anything less would not be fair to the people who have taken time out of their busy schedules to visit and support our industry’s showcase events.”

The efforts Yamaha put into their stand this year were well rewarded with a number of industry awards and more importantly over $25 million worth of finance deals being signed up at the national shows, a new record for the company and a great result for the Yamaha dealers whose contribution was vitally important.

“A pleasing change for this year’s season was the way in which we were able to co ordinate our Yamaha dealer stands around our own corporate display,” says Hampson. “Our dealers’ contribution and professionalism at the shows was second to none. They really are the best in the industry, we could not have achieved this fantastic result without them.”

Yamaha outboards are available through an Australia-wide network of authorised Yamaha outboard dealers. All Yamaha 4-stroke outboards are supported with a full 4-year manufacturer’s warranty and all 2-stroke outboards are backed by a 3-year warranty – conditions apply.

All Yamaha outboards are available with the unique “Protection Plus” package that allows customers to access extended service protection, Yamaha Marine Insurance as well as DatadotDNA theft protection for more confident and worry free boating.
