Not One, Not Two, but Three winners announced for RePowering With Yamaha.
Yamaha launched the #ImRePoweringWithYamaha competition in June, looking for one lucky boat owner to receive a NEW Yamaha outboard motor, rigged and installed on their boat all for FREE!
All that Kiwi boaties had to do was create a video showing themselves and their boat telling the Yamaha judging panel who they were, where they are from, and a bit about their boat and why they needed a Yamaha repower.
With over 200 entries received, and so many worthy Kiwi boaties who were in need of a new Yamaha fourstroke for their boat – instead of giving away one motor, Yamaha Marine New Zealand elected to give away THREE four-stroke Yamaha outboard engines!
“We were overwhelmed with the amount of submissions we received for this competition. There were a lot of comedians in the mix, some heart felt stories, and we loved viewing all of the submissions,” said Yamaha Motor New Zealand, National Marine Manager, Richard Shaw.
“Because we had so many entries, and it was hard to narrow it down to just one, we decided to not repower just one boat, but three!”
The three winners to receive a new Yamaha four-stroke outboard, completely free are: Aroha Te-Kahika of Palmerston North, will get a repower of his vessel – enabling him to take his children out on the water with more reliability.
Josh Schroder of Turangi will receive a new Yamaha four-stroke on his Ramco 5 metre so he can explore more of Lake Taupo with his young family without fear of being towed home by Coastguard.
One of the more memorable entries from the Anderson family of Swannanoa see’s them chosen to receive a new Yamaha 175hp four-stroke on the back of their Haines Hunter SF600 ‘Sea-A-Saurus’- the three young Anderson children are sure to be thrilled that their boat won’t embarrassingly smoke out the marina in Picton anymore.
The re-powers of all three boats will begin at Yamaha dealerships in the coming weeks with the process being captured via a video series – all three boats repowered and ready for the summer boating season.
