2009 Summer Season
By David Lyle, Walstrom Marine President
A
s we go to press we are launching another summer season
of boating in beautiful Northern Michigan. The good
news is that we are starting 2009 with Lake Michigan/
Huron water levels at chart datum. That is one foot of water
higher than we started in 2008. Our average yearly Northern
Michigan snowfall is 117 inches and this year we were over 154
inches. That’s an extra 3 feet of snow. If it brings Lake Michigan
and Huron up a foot we’ll take it.

We promise you a summer season that will rate high on the “fun”
meter. There are open houses, barbecues, cruises and rendezvous
scheduled between May and September. Check our calendar so
you don’t miss any of our planned events. This year our Walstrom
Marine August cruise will be headed for Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.

Little Traverse Bay Weather Buoy
Cross Village Rugworks
T
he Harbor Springs Harbor Commission is considering
whether to partner with the University of Michigan
Marine Hydrodynamics Lab (MHL) and help cover the
annual operational costs of a weather buoy. It would be
located at the head of Little Traverse Bay. U of M has the
funding for the buoy, but needs assistance to cover the
maintenance. They are looking for area contributions.
A new weather buoy has been added at the head of Grand
Traverse Bay. This will appear on the NOAA web site as
Station 45020. You can look at all of the NOAA buoys at:
www.ndbc.noaa.gov.
On our web site under ‘links of interest’ we have the link to
the buoy located East of Washington Island. This is buoy
number 45002. Boaters commonly use this link to see the
weather to the West of Harbor Springs.
For further information regarding a Little Traverse Bay
Weather Buoy, contact the Harbor Springs Harbor
Commission c/o the City of Harbor Springs. Jim Bartlett is
their Chairman.
T
here is one more reason to drive the beautiful Tunnel of
Trees to Cross Village this summer, as the new non-profit
organization, Cross Village Rugworks, will be working looms
and welcoming visitors. Located directly across from Legs Inn,
the beautiful yarn, multiple looms and spinning wheels—and of
course, the finished rugs—take visitors back in time. In addition
to the artistry and information (the Rugworks was created with
the history and culture of the area at the root of its mission), the
organization is also dedicated to developing a sustainable local
economy, and providing training for local residents that are in
need of a viable trade.
One of the most exciting artistic options Cross Village
Rugworks artisans is offering are punch hook rugs designed
after photographs that customers provide. The master artisans
are able to recreate images like cottages, pets—and best of all—
boats, in great detail. For more information on this unique
opportunity, call the Cross Village Rugworks (231) 526-7849.
No passport, no entry.
As of June 1, 2009, you will be required to show an up-to-date U.S.
passport to enter the United States from Canada. This new rule applies
to everyone, regardless of age. So if you plan to travel to Canada this
summer, you'll need a valid U.S. passport book or a U.S. passport card.
You can purchase a passport at any U.S. Post Office, but you must
apply in person. If you live in Emmet County, you can choose to apply
at the office of the County Clerk, 200 Division Street in Petoskey.

heading south to Frankfort, and then across Lake
Michigan to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin for our annual Walstrom

The trip across from Frankfort to Sturgeon Bay is just 47 miles

JACK AND CEEJAY
B
Heckenberg
"Outdoorsy", she rode and took
lessons for skill improvement. Family
members taught her to hunt and fish
and family friends took her boating on
the Mississippi River and Lake of the
Ozarks. On school vacations, she and
her parents traveled extensively. The
year round warm weather, boating and
the horse industry drew her to make
her residence in Ft. Lauderdale, FL as
an adult. She met and married Jack
there in 1969. Two of her boats were
in the canal that was their backyard. An only child for two sets of parents,

learning the responsibilities of livestock
care, including her beloved horses. Ownership of several other boats
oth Jack and Ceejay were born
in St. Louis County, Missouri. Ceejay grew up and graduated
from high school there. She then
graduated from Principia College,
Elsah, Illinois. Jack lived in St. Louis
County for his formative years, but
moved to Fort Lauderdale for high
school, where his younger brother
ferried Jack around the waterways in
the family boat. Jack graduated from
Duke University, Durham, NC.

followed until the couple built a 75'
Hatteras, which they named the
Social Director. They traveled to New
Bern, NC every other month during
the build, which was a fun project for
interior designer Jack and boat-lover
Ceejay. This boat transports them from
Florida to Michigan and back again on
a three week trip. The northbound
trip combines Intracoastal and ocean
travel until New York City, where the
boat goes up the Hudson River before
entering the Erie Canal. Exiting in
Oswego, NY, the boat then runs Lakes
Ontario, Erie, St. Clair, Huron and
Lake Michigan to Harbor Springs. The southbound trip often copies the
northbound in reverse but when conditions
are right, the boat will travel south via the
midwest river system (Chicago, Illinois,
Mississippi, Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee,
Black Warrior, etc.) to the Gulf of Mexico. Florida rivers then take it into and out of
Lake Okeechobee to its dock in Martin
County, FL. Jack and Ceejay and guests
spent time on the flybridge, aft deck, main
salon, bow seat and pilot house while under
way and in their staterooms overnight. It is
a privileged chance to see this country from
the water, at a slower pace than driving or
flying.
Now that Ceejay has semi-retired from
her 30 years of building and teaching at
Black Forest Farm and Black Forest Hall,
in Michigan, she and Jack use the boat for
social and charitable activities and for at least
one summer boat trip, often the Walstrom
Cruise. In both Michigan and in Florida,
Jack has been a fundraising chairman and
party host at the Heckenberg’s homes
for many charities, including Florida
Oceanographic Society, Elliott Museum,
Martin Memorial Hospital, Hospice,
Christ Child Society, Little Traverse
Conservancy, Harbor Springs Child Care,
American Heart Association, etc. Through
Black Forest, Ceejay still helps young
people and acts as mentor to those in horse
management and riding/training careers. Following her lead, many of her students
combine horse and charitable interests.
She also oversees Black Forest South in
Ocala, FL, a thoroughbred breeding farm
with a riding ring on it. Former Harborites Kerri and Mitch Szegi manage that
farm and the charitable activities that Black
Forest supports in Ocala. In the summers,
you'll find Ceejay at Black Forest Hall doing
volunteer work or at Black Forest Farm
doing farm maintenance. Besides horses,
young people and boating, Ceejay's other
interests include rose and orchid care, dog
walking, reading and spending time with
Jack in their homes and yards.

orthern Michigan and
boating, they just seem to go
together. I love striking up a
conversation and have it turn toward
boating adventures as conversations
invariably do when we are up north.
Captain Kim here from the yacht
Moonbeam. Moonbeam is the Tiara
Coronet with the forest green hull that
cruises Little Traverse Bay most every
weekend from May to September. It is
a great boat and I have had a lot of fun
learning to drive it. Of course, when
I was learning not only did I have
the coaching from my husband, Jeff,
Moonbeam’s First Mate, who is very
unflappable, but many times there
was a lot of coaching from the docks
that was much appreciated! Calls of,
“Forward starboard!” “Forward port!”
“Slow!” “Careful!” and other advice
made my initial attempts at docking
that much smoother.

son, “Look, Mommy is driving the
boat.” I chuckled and replied, “That’s
because it is Mommy’s boat!”
gas dock. Even though so many of
you make backing into a slip look so
easy, you will not see me attempting
to do that with Moonshadow.
The reason we got the second boat
is twofold. First, it is fast and fun
to take out on little jaunts to Bay
Harbor and Charlevoix or just cruise
the bay. Secondly, though I do
“drive” Moonshadow while we are
under way, I was not confident that
I could dock it if Jeff was not able
to. This was particularly evident one
fine fall day at the end of the season
when I tried to pull Moonshadow
into one of the large slips at the gas
dock. Luckily, my dock coaches were
not in the marina and Jeff was as
unflappable as ever. Did you know
that it is almost possible to get a 58
foot Sea Ray sideways in one of those
slips? It was quite a day!
On Moonshadow I am First Mate.
Please do not think that this position
is not significant. Quite the opposite
is true. I am the periodic driver of
this fine vessel. I am in charge of lines
and fenders when docking. I am even
the person on the bow lassoing pilings
on Mackinac Island and that is quite
a sight! Perhaps my most important
function is back-up navigator.
The position of back-up navigator was
established several years ago after a trip
to the North Channel. Moonshadow
left Cheboygan in the early morning
hours just after dawn to cross Lake
Huron and navigate False Detour
to the North Channel. About half
way across Lake Huron several things
Since my experience with Moonbeam happened: first, the waves kicked up;
Many people are surprised to see me I am confident that I could drive secondly, the GPS screen went from

Fuel Dock 101
Written by Patrick Shirley and Mac Green
I
t just happens to be a great day of boating out on
Little Traverse Bay, when you realize you need fuel for
your boat. As you turn your boat to head towards
Walstrom Marine’s fuel dock, you wonder what you can
do to make the fueling process easier, so you can return to
enjoying the sun, waves, and your boat. Well, we thought
we would share some tips that make fueling easier for
you.
• When possible RADIO AHEAD. This lets us know you
are coming our way and is also a good time to tell us if
you are alone on the boat and will require additional
help docking. Now is a good time to think about which
side of the boat you want tied to the dock. The reason
this can be important is because sometimes you may
want a pump-out as well as fuel. So put the side of the
boat on the dock that has the pump-out and fuel fill.
This can make the fuel dock process faster and easier
for all.
• When you’ve arrived make sure lines are in place, boat
is secure and ample fenders are set. This process can
be very important for everyone’s safety. From here the
fueling process is usually painless and straightforward
for us.
• We prefer to have the captain remain with the boat during
its stay at the dock. Should a problem arise or questions
need to be answered, the captain is “on deck.”
• Mutually we must confirm your fuel choice. We usually
know but a reminder never hurts. Be aware of how
much fuel you will be taking on, remember that we
prefer to fuel a boat to only ninety percent or 7/8. This
helps prevent spills and keeps the water cleaner.
• Sales receipt signature, it is very important to sign your
sales receipt before you leave.
• Use a blower after your boat is fueled and before startup.
We will try to make your fuel dock experience efficient,
safe and fun. We are always available to help and learn
what we can do to make your day at the fuel dock better.
As always we appreciate your time, your business, and
wish you safe and fun-filled boating.

News from Rivertown!
Cheboygan River Dockage
at Walstrom Marine
By Joe Kuchnicki
O
ur docks in the Cheboygan River offer many advantages
to boaters. The slips are more private than multi-boat
dockage basins. Vehicle parking is very close to most slips.
No long walks to your boat which makes loading and unloading
much less of a chore.
Relatively low river traffic provides a feeling of participation
in a real marine environment. Ice breaker Mackinaw is located
downstream and often photographed by folks visiting the river for
the first time.
We have modern, clean washrooms with laundry, showers, and ice.
Downtown restaurants, pubs, ice cream, shopping, theatre, and
much more are only a 5 minute walk away on well-lit streets.
Our dockage customers also benefit from:
• Close to great boating destinations ranging from the Inland
Waterway and the North Channel.
• Ferry to Bois Blanc Island right across the bridge.
• Car rental valet service provided by local dealerships.
• Shuttle available to various points in northern Michigan.
• Local cab service is available.
• Cheboygan airport 5 minutes away by car.
• Pellston Regional Airport is less than ½ hour away.
• 9 miles from I-75 exit.
• 16 miles to Mackinaw City.
It’s also noteworthy that the City of Cheboygan is very interested
in making time spent here a great experience. There are many
summer activities planned each season by the Chamber. Check it

Tip of the Mitt
By Jennifer McKay
I
n 2008, the Great Lakes experienced a historic victory
with the Great Lakes Compact signed into law. The
Compact is a regional agreement that promotes water
conservation, protects the lakes from harmful withdrawals,
and bans diversions. This achievement dealt with water
quantity — now in 2009, we move the focus to water
quality. We have already seen significant progress towards addressing
water quality and the health of the Great Lakes. President
Obama included an unprecedented investment of $475
million in his Fiscal Year 2010 Budget to restore the Great
Lakes — an effort that is key to creating jobs and growing our
economy. This investment is a major victory for the Great
Lakes, and represents the largest, most serious commitment
to Great Lakes restoration in a President’s Budget in history. The funding would target problems such as invasive species,
runoff pollution, degraded wildlife habitat, and contaminated
sediment. During his campaign, Obama pledged $5 billion toward
implementing a restoration wish list released in December
2005 by the Great Lakes Regional Collaboration, a
partnership of government agencies and advocacy groups. Including $475 million in new funding is a way to start
following up on that commitment and is a terrific down
payment on Great Lakes restoration and protection efforts.
Still to come is the battle for congressional approval, which
is certain to be fierce as the Great Lakes package competes
with other priorities at a time of soaring deficits and an
economic recession. Members of Congress ultimately hold
the purse strings for the federal government through the
annual appropriations process, so it is critical they match
the President’s initiative in their own budget resolution and
appropriations to restore this treasured resource. Tip of the
Mitt Watershed Council will be working with our members
of Congress to ensure that our nation invests in the Great
Lakes — to restore the lakes and revive our economy. We are
always looking for individuals willing to be champions for the
Great Lakes that will receive important information on the
progress of Great Lakes Restoration and who can be called
upon for action when necessary. If you are interested in
becoming a Great Lakes Champion or learning more about
Great Lakes Restoration and Protection, contact Jennifer
McKay or Grenetta Thomassey at 231-347-1181.

he 14th annual Tiara Great Lakes rendezvous
returns to our backyard at the Charlevoix
city Marina this year from July 28th to the
30th. New this year, any Tiara or Pursuit owners are
invited to attend this fun-filled event. With brand
new docks and facilities last season, Charlevoix is a
beautiful place to meet old friends and make some
new ones. We are excited to add the Pursuit family
of S2 boats to this event and encourage our Pursuit
owners to attend. It’s only 18 miles so being “too far”
is not a good excuse. As of press time the Tiara staff
was working hard on the event and had preliminary
plans in place: boat hop, seminars, shopping, group
fun and games, evening dinner and dancing at
Castle Farms, possible dinghy scavenger hunt. For
more information or to register, please contact Sue
Kane at [email protected] or Stephanie Smith
at [email protected] or by phone at 616392-7163. We look forward to seeing you and your
Tiara or Pursuit in Charlevoix.
Medical Advice for
Mariners
W
ith boating season right
around the corner, one
thing that should be on
every boater’s checklist is maintaining
an appropriate first aid kit, as well as
some basic preparedness knowledge and
training, should a medical condition arise
onboard. Besides the usual sunscreen
and lip balm, insect repellant, and Aloe
Vera Gel, what else is helpful onboard
for the initial treatment of both minor
and major emergencies? The answer is
highly subjective. Captain and crew
training, level of comfort in dealing
with an injury or illness, as well as the
vessel and itinerary will all factor into
the determination of the appropriate
equipment and response.
To begin with, there are many first aid
kits available through local retailers, boat
manufacturers, local EMS Agencies, as
well as national agencies such as the
American Red Cross and Divers Alert
Network. Another reputable company
is Adventure Medical Kits, who have a
wide range of kits based on duration
of trip, number of passengers, type of
vessel, etc.
Some basic supplies worth considering
in a kit would be the following: a
22

thermometer, a reliable pair of trauma
scissors, ice packs, and a blanket or
emergency reflective wrap for potential
hypothermic conditions. In addition
to various sizes of band aids for
scrapes and cuts to the skin, a supply
of wound closure strips and sterile
compresses for bleeding control would
be useful, as well as a source of sterile
or clean water or saline (NOT ocean
or lake water) for the initial cleaning
of wounds, which is paramount to
helping prevent infections. Hydrogen
peroxide or rubbing alcohol for deep
wound cleansing and irrigation is
usually NOT recommended for this
purpose. Antibiotic ointment and
sterile gauze bandages would be very
useful as well as a pair of sterile gloves
(preferably non-latex if available so as
to avoid any potential allergic reactions
in susceptible individuals). Nose clips
for the treatment of nosebleeds, and
Ace Wraps and splinting materials for
the treatment of sprains and possible
fractures are a nice addition. The SAM
Splint is a user-friendly, commercially
available product that doesn’t take up
much space and can be easily applied
for sprains and broken bones until
definitive care is achieved.
w alstrom.com
In regards to medications, there are
some basic ones I like to keep readily
available. Aspirin for potential chest
pain scenarios, Benadryl for allergic
reactions, hydrocortisone cream
for skin irritations, motion sickness
tablets like Dramamine or Antivert,
scopolamine patches (with the caveat
that these meds are always more
effective as a preventative therapy rather
than once symptoms have progressed),
and oral glucose gel for low blood
sugar. Before taking or administering
any medications, always consult with
your primary healthcare provider and
remember even these simple meds have
potential serious side effects and must
be used with caution especially with
infants, children, pregnant or nursing
women, as well as patients with other
pre-existing medical conditions.
More advanced equipment that could
be potentially life saving would be CPR
masks and faceshields, an onboard
oxygen supply, and Automated External
Defibrillators (AEDs). AEDs are used
to analyze the cardiac rhythms in
sudden cardiac arrest, and if necessary,
directs the rescuer to deliver an electrical
shock to treat the lethal arrhythmia and
help restore normal rhythm and blood
flow. It must be emphasized, however,
that the use of an AED is only one link
in some of the critical steps in treating
sudden cardiac arrest, and needs to be
followed by early advanced cardiac life
support (i.e. EMS and hospital care).
The use of this equipment requires the
proper training (courses in CPR, First
Aid, Oxygen Administration, and AED
training are readily available through
the American Red Cross and/or the
American Heart Association.) With
a few hours of training, non-medical
personnel can learn to operate an AED
safely and effectively, and these devices
have been proven to save lives in outof-hospital cardiac arrest. Cost varies by
manufacturer, but the current average
price for these units is around $2000.
and if possible the names and numbers
of primary health care providers. This
information can be very helpful to EMS
personnel and emergency department
staff upon further evaluation and
treatment.
Just as important as the equipment, is a
good contingency plan for any potential
medical emergency. Ensuring a reliable
source of communication with a back up
source (radio, cell phone, satellite phone)
as well as a list of emergency numbers
and contacts is crucial to any response.
Also ensure that all carbon monoxide
detectors are working properly. Keep
documentation of any pre-existing
medical condition of anyone onboard,
as well as a list of allergies, medications,
Kal A. Attie, M.D.
This is a short summary of
potentially useful items and training
recommendations and is by no means
all encompassing. Please talk to your
health care provider before purchasing
or using any of the above mentioned
supplies and seek proper guidance.
Hopefully the marine medical kit, like
other marine safety equipment, is always
available but never needed.

just under 40 feet in length, this new flagship has all the comforts of
home; included standard is a 360-degree water view.
The OS 375 challenges conventional thinking about outboard
powered boats. Weighing in at 18,442 lbs with triple 350 hp Yamaha
V8, the 375 makes a formidable statement.
Outdoor entertaining is one of the 375’s strong points; the custom
cockpit entertainment center features an electric smokeless grill,
sink and refrigerator. No more up and down, back and forth to
entertain.
The 18-degree deadrise hull will keep you dry and safe in a big sea.

Boat Owners
Beware!
A
By Patrick Shirley
There are Dangers Associated with Ethanol-Blend Gasoline
s a boat owner, it is crucial that you understand the
dangers associated with the use of Ethanol-Blend
Gasoline (E10). E10 has been used in marinas from
coast to coast and most boat owners are unsuspecting and not
aware of the precautions needed to make their boats safe. If
E10 is the only fueling option available, see your local marine
service center for usage information.
It is important to understand the contents of E10. E10 is
gasoline with 10-percent ethanol alcohol added. Ethanol
alcohol is made from corn, sugar and other grains. E10 is a
great cleanser, solvent and anti-freeze. The alcohol in E10 is
also a great absorber of water.
Now let me explain the noted and verified problems that
arise when using E10. As more people use E10 in their
boats, the problems are becoming more apparent and are well
documented. Listed below are some of the many documented
problems seen with the use of E10.
• Stalling, prematurely worn engine parts, rusting, clogging
of fuel filters and carburetor jets, release of gunk and sludge
throughout the engine, frequent water-contamination/phase
separation of fuel, and the eventual engine breakdown.
26
• Ethanol can cause a motor to run lean on fuel, due to
the water in the fuel, and vapor lock can occur. Other
performance issues may be stalling, misfire, hesitation, and
difficulty maintaining slower speeds.
• Boaters often store their boats for longer than 90 days. Due
to the instability of E10, the shelf-life is less than three
months.
• Boat engines live in a water environment. Alcohol loves to
absorb water, which will cause premature rusting.
• Older boat engines (most boats produced before 1992) are
not designed to withstand the use of E10. Their rubber and
plastic parts and fiberglass fuel tanks are not compatible.
E10 can eat away at these parts causing fuel to leak into the
bilge. This could possibly cause a fire.
Knowing the problems that may occur is only the first step
towards a solution. To fully prevent E10 issues, simply do not
use E10. Prevention is your best weapon. If you trailer your
boat to a gas station, and E10 is the only fuel offered, find
another gas station or fuel source.
Here at the Walstrom Marine fuel dock we use no E10. Our
gasoline is 89 Octane with Valvtect. Having Valvtect in your
fuel will improve fuel economy, fuel lubricity, reduce smoke
and emissions, and extend engine life.

68 Convertible
The new Hatteras 64 Convertible not
only advances the legend of Hatteras
sportfishing convertibles, it is sure to
create a legend in its own right! Like its
predecessors, the 54 and 68 Convertibles,
the 64 features an unprecedented array of
sophisticated features, including Hatteras’

fresh approaches to cockpit and bridge
design, as well as groundbreaking
technology in the engine room and
ship’s systems. Built on a solid
fiberglass, convex hull with deep
propeller tunnels, the 68 will achieve

convertibles. And it will do so in
style thanks to a 21’6’’ beam, by far
the largest in its class.

77 Convertible
80 MY
The new 72 Motor Yacht from Hatteras
Yachts features traditional exterior lines
with subtle contemporary styling cues
for an overall effect that fits into today’s
marketplace while easily standing
the test of time. This unique model
features a wider salon than comparable
motor yachts on the market, yet it still
retains side-deck access that makes the
72 Motor Yacht perfect for the owner/
operator.
The new Hatteras 77 Convertible appeals
to both cruisers and sportfishermen
thanks to its customer-driven interior
layout options and industry-leading
specifications in beam, draft, fuel
capacity and accommodation space.
She features a length of 76’10”, a 22’
beam and a shallow draft of 5’3”, easily
the best in her class.
Step aboard the Hatteras 80 Motor
Yacht and you’ll instantly recognize
a world-class design unlike any other
on the market. That’s because it was
created by the most qualified group
of experts we could find: Hatteras
customers. While the Hatteras team of
engineers and craftsmen put the lines
to paper and executed the project to
perfection, the 80’s true magic comes
from the intuitive input of experienced
yachtsmen who demanded more.

atteras Yachts recently presented their annual Dealer
Awards for the 2008 model year. During the event,
Hatteras Yachts recognized individual dealerships for
their sales achievements with Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards.
Walstrom Marine was an esteemed recipient of the Silver
Dealer Award. Along with the Silver Dealership Award, David Lyle, president,
and Justin Bassett received the Hatteras Yachts Circle of
Excellence Award. Both salesmen are repeat winners of this
award honoring salesmen that sold a Hatteras Yacht during
the 2008 model year. In addition to the Circle of Excellence

custom motor yachts and sportfishing convertibles ranging
in length from fifty to one hundred feet. Born out of the
treacherous waters surrounding Cape Hatteras, Hatteras motor
yachts and sportfishing convertibles have always been known
for attention to detail, innovative thinking and impeccable
quality bringing back generations of customers, year after year,
to fulfill their yachting dreams.
Walstrom Marine and Hatteras Yachts have enjoyed a
successful relationship for over 35 years, making Walstrom
Marine one of the longest standing Hatteras Yachts dealerships
in the world. Walstrom Marine’s level of success with Hatteras
is all the more remarkable considering the comparatively short
Northern Michigan boating season. “These awards are quite an honor. They reflect our entire team’s
commitment to exceeding each and every boater’s expectations,
not only during the sale of the yacht, but after the sale as well,”
commented Walstrom Marine president, David Lyle.
“Our relationship with Hatteras dates back to 1971. We are
proud of that relationship; Hatteras is a company that shares
the same customer first philosophy that Walstrom marine
has had since 1946. It’s really a great fit, they make the best
production yachts in the world, and we’ve got the best sales

The LANCER 20’ is the first boat in
our line-up. It is the only 20-foot boat in
the industry with a standard V-6 engine
that gets up on-plane in less than three
seconds and runs in the mid-50s. It’s
impressive agility makes this a great boat
for water-skiing and wake-boarding.
The LANCER 20’ WOODY is a
special version of the Lancer featuring
an extended application of premium
teak wood on the deck and cockpit floor. Proudly recalling classic Chris-Crafts of
the past, this stunning special edition
model is limited to just 99 hulls.
The LAUNCH 22’ is an ideal boat for
the family. It’s an advanced bow rider
design that both driver and guests will
find comfortable at all speeds. The
deep bow Sit Pit is a comfortable and
secure seating area for the kids and still
affords the driver an uninterrupted view
ahead. Available with a choice of engines
providing up to 375 hp, few boats of
34
this size accelerate more swiftly or have
greater agility.
The LAUNCH 25’ has the size to be a
wonderful day boat with more seakeeping
ability. The 25’ is built with the latest
wood free hull construction technology
featuring a full fiberglass structural liner
that is foam filled for flotation and sound
deadening. Standard with a fuel injected

Launch family. The wide-beam provides

If any boat defines Chris-Craft, it is the
Corsair Series.
w alstrom.com
The CORSAIR 25’ is the first model in
the range. Stunning from any angle, this
runabout is practical and comfortable,
beautifully combining craftsmanship
and quality. The Corsair 25’ has a stylish
foredeck that provides an uninterrupted
forward view and a useful cuddy
cabin underneath. The wood-free hull
construction features a full fiberglass
structural hull liner. It comes standard

options to 425 hp. Whatever you use it
for, the Corsair 25’ will transport you in

builds upon the 25’s many qualities. Larger
dimensions allow for greater interior
space and more powerful twin engine
configurations. The power, acceleration
and handling of the 28’ will take your
breath away! A larger cuddy cabin is ideal
for an afternoon snooze and the cockpit
is spacious and comfortable. The 28’
offers lots of panache.
The CORSAIR 33’ is a joy to drive and
sets new standards for this type of boat. While it has the heart and low sleek
lines of a sporty runabout, it also has
the practicality and space of an express
cruiser. With a spacious forward cabin
and separate head, it provides excellent
interior space and comfort. The Corsair
33’ also delivers an impressive level of
performance with the standard twin 375
hp engines. This modern classic blends
the best of tradition with the cutting
edge of high technology.
The CORSAIR 36’ blurs the distinction
between runabout and express cruiser.
It is a synthesis of everything we’ve
learned about building boats. Perfect
for weekend trips and longer excursions,
this is the only Corsair that sleeps four
in complete luxury. The spaciousness
of its salon, cabin and cockpit are
complemented by the uncompromising
craftsmanship of its owner’s cabin. Belying its size, the Corsair 36’ is a
responsive and powerful boat that is
supremely enjoyable to drive.
The CATALINA 23’ is Chris-Craft’s
stylish entry into the center console fish
boat market. Keeping with tradition,
the 23’ features a teak foredeck, powdercoated T-top, deep-V hull and flared
bow that give it a smooth dry ride in the
choppiest conditions. Powered by the
clean, quiet and reliable Yamaha 250 hp
four stroke outboard motor, the Catalina
23’ has a top speed of 49.8 mph and a
cruising range of 330 miles at 30 mph. This versatile center console is also great
for family water sports and has a very
useable private head. The CATALINA 29’ is the largest
member of Chris-Craft’s center console
fish boat line. The 29’s wood-free
construction features an integrated
fiberglass structural hull liner for years
of maintenance-free enjoyment. With
one look this high style, midnight blue
Catalina 29’ is instantly recognizable as a
Chris-Craft. Powered with twin Yamaha
250 hp four stroke outboard motors, the
29’ has a top speed of 53.4 mph and a
cruising range of 386 miles at 35.5 mph. With a fiberglass hardtop the helm
is well protected from weather and is
loaded with features such as refrigerator,
a private head, comfortable seats and
teak accents on the floor. The Catalina
29’ is sure to make waves amongst both
serious fishermen and families looking to
spend a relaxing day on the water.
It’s taken more than a century to learn
how to build boats that last a lifetime. The longer you own a Chris-Craft, the
more you will appreciate it. The deck of
a Chris-Craft is a great place to be and
somewhere you’ll want to return again
and again.

small openings, where your dinghy dare not tread, adds new
dimensions to an adventure.
There are several boats designed that will securely fit either on
a swim platform, the bow rails or aft on the floor of a boat.
Some can even be stored away out of site! The varieties of

boaters.
The Carbonlite boats from Eddyline are sit-in models that are
an excellent choice for boaters. Sandpipers, weighing in at only
38 lbs makes getting in and out a breeze even from a dock or
boat deck. Its wide cockpit makes it easy to get the children or

its stable yet roomy cockpit is designed to keep up with larger
boats.
Sit-upon, molded plastic boats, such as Ocean Kayak’s Venus,
come in two sizes: 10 and 11 ft in length. Hobie’s model Lanai
— is only 9ft long — is manageable for smaller women and
children and comfortable enough for even a tall person. Frenzy
models are stable, strong and are designed for good tracking.

Hard-Tops
Hard-tops and Closed Bridges. In the last few years, we
have seen more and more custom hard-tops and closed
bridges on Hatteras convertibles and Motor Yachts. The
recently launched 72 MY has several different versions
including a integrated hardtop and Hatteras will debut
a new 72 Sky lounge with a fully enclosed bridge. Most
recently, we worked with High Seas Technology to create
a composite custom integrated hard-top on a brand
new 60 MY. With new technology and construction
techniques Hatteras and their sub-contractors are now
able to design a top that best fits the customers’ needs.
With our chilly spring and early fall, hard-tops and closed
bridges certainly make sense for the Great Lakes. Contact

Did you know?
The Vera Bradley story is a testimony to the
American Dream: While on vacation in
March of 1982, Patricia and Barbara were
awaiting a flight in Atlanta when they noticed
a definite lack of feminine-looking luggage.
The longtime friends wasted no time in
correcting this situation. Within weeks, these
dynamic women had created a company,
named after Barbara’s mother, capable of
marketing and manufacturing t h e i r
cleverly designed products.
The demand for these
unique handbags and luggage
items has grown and so has
Vera Bradley, which is now
nationally and internationally
recognized.

By far, the most common complaint we receive is that the cable will
not pay out or retract properly. In 99-percent of these instances,
the cable has never been fully paid out and untwisted or allowed to

is retracted/paid out, the cable will twist but will not straighten
itself out without a little help on your part. Here are a few tips to
remember:
1) Experience has shown that when only a short section of cable
is regularly used, the cable may be subjected to sharper than
normal coiling which, in turn, causes undue kinking of the
cable. To help relieve this, occasionally pay the cable out fully
and stretch it out on any smooth surface. It is best to do this
on a nice sunny day as it allows the cable to “relax” a bit. Then
retract the cable, allowing the Cablemaster to pull the cable into
the storage area.
2) While the cable is laid out, this is the perfect time to inspect
the outer jacket of the cable for any nicks or cuts. If the cable is
dirty, do not use any cleaners that will leave a waxy or slippery
film on the cable as this may cause slippage of the Cablemaster’s
main pulley. If cleaning is necessary, Glendenning recommends
a mild soap and water solution to clean your cable.
3) Once in a while, take a look at the plugs themselves and check
for any loose tangs or burn marks, indicating that there has
been some arcing going on in the plugs.
4) If the cable does become twisted and knotted, it takes a bit of
perseverance, but it can be corrected. As you pay out whatever
cable will come out, try to untwist the cable as it is coming out.
You may have to run the cable in and out several times, but
every time you pull the cable out while untwisting, you should
slowly gain on it and get it all out.
5) There are instances where the cable has been worked to the point
where the jacket of the cable has been stretched, and it appears
as if it were shrunk over the interior wires. If this happens, in
most instances the cord will have to be replaced, as the pulleys
cannot be adjusted tight enough to grab the smaller diameter
of the stretched cable.
In the event you cannot get the cable retracted when you are
away from home, please make sure the cable is coiled and secured
somehow to prevent the cable from falling off of the boat while
under way. It probably wouldn’t do the Cablemaster any good to
test its holding power while cruising at 25 or so knots, although
after the repairs are made, it could become a good story to share
over a cold drink in the future.
If there are other problems, please feel free to call the Walstrom
Marine Service Department, and we will do our best to get
someone to look at it as soon as possible.

Because we invented the concept
of open style yachting,
we reserve the right to perfect it.
Introducing the new Tiara Yachts® 3900 Open. All-around versatility is the
hallmark of open boating – a style invented by Tiara nearly 30 years ago.
Our new 3900 Open continues the tradition of excellence with superior
amenities – including skylight, mezzanine seating, unobstructed views from
the cockpit – and design that results in an amazingly smooth, quiet ride. It
all adds up to a yacht that makes your time on the water the best it can be,
whether you’re fishing or cruising or both. Get details at tiarayachts.com.
