Walloon Central Marine in Walloon Lake, Michigan, is now the first dealer of Parker Offshore Boats in the state of Michigan. Founded in 1987, Walloon Central Marine has extensive experience in both used and new boat sales, and will now add the hand-crafted, high-end Parker fishing boat manufacturer headquartered in the Outer Banks, North Carolina, to its list of offerings.
“With their product line up from 18-foot Center Consoles to 29-foot Sport Cabins they have watercraft that perform great on Walloon Lake, Lake Charlevoix, Little Traverse Bay, and throughout the Great Lakes region,” notes Scot Graden, who purchased Walloon Central Marine in 2021. “After an extensive review of boat manufacturers over the past three years, it became obvious that Parker Offshore would be an ideal fit for the Northern Michigan region. We appreciate the quality built into each Parker boat — they are designed and tested to handle challenging conditions, while providing a comfortable ride.”
Walloon Central Marine will host a series of events this winter and spring to introduce Parker Offshore boats to the Great Lakes region.
“Parker boats are an excellent match for the Great Lakes region and we’re excited to expand into this area with Walloon Central Marine,” says Scott Bauer, president of Parker Offshore Boats. “We know the upper Great Lakes can be challenging at times and our boats have been built to handle the toughest waters. In addition to adding dealer support in Michigan, we are gearing up to introduce new features to go along with our time-honored quality construction techniques.”
