New Whittley dealers appointed

Whittley Marine, the manufacturer and distributor of Whittley Sea Legend, Whittley Clearwater, Whittley inflatable and Spy Boats, has expanded its national dealer network with the appointment of two new dealers in Sydney and the Gold Coast.

Blakes Marine in Sydney and the Broadwater Boating Centre will now offer the full range of Whittley's fishing, general purpose and ski boats.

Both dealers say they see Whittley as an ideal offering for their local markets as they meet buyers particular boating needs and powerplant choices.

Broadwater offers Yamaha outboard power while Blakes has both Yamaha and Evenrude E-Tec outboards as well a Volvo Penta power for Whittley sterndrive models.

Alan and Anne Blake have been looking after Sydney boating enthusiasts for more than 20 years and will exhibit their new Whittley boats at this year's Sydney International Boat Show.

Broadwater Boating Centre is part of the Hinterland Group which sells and services motor vehicles, boats, marine engines and caravans in Queensland and northern NSW.

Whittley co-owner and managing director, Neville Whittley, says the new appointments are part of a major expansion of his dealer network. "Before the year is out we will have doubled our dealer network," Whittley says, "Over the past five years we have greatly expanded our range, especially the Clearwater and inflatable boats, and this dealer network is the next step."
