GM Marine Named Key Supporter of Battle By the Beach, Wake United Surf + Wake Series

GM Marine Powers Grassroots Wakesurf and Wakeboard Tour with Nautique Boats as Official Tow Boat; Gears Up for Third Series Stop on August 10-11 in Acworth, Ga.

ACWORTH, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, July 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Wake United Surf + Wake Series¹—the ultimate Southeast U.S. wake series for amateur, semi-pro and future pro wakeboarders and wakesurfers—is eyeing up Stop No. 3 on August 10-11 at Lake Acworth in Acworth, Ga. with a fleet of award-winning Nautique Boats powered by GM Marine².

A key supporter of the leading grassroots wake series, GM Marine offers competitors the confidence of a steady and strong ride.

Jeff Husby, president & CEO of Wake United³, title sponsor of the series and a cutting-edge, professional pro shop dedicated to serving the global water sports community, said, “There’s a reason GM has stood the test of time and remains a leader both on the roads and in the water. They deliver quality products that keep the sports and activities we love thriving.”

For more than a century, GM Marine has supplied some of the most respected names in the marine industry with world-class powertrains for stern-drive and inboard watercrafts. Leveraging more than 100 years of GM engineering and design expertise, they pride themselves on the production of marine-ready powertrains. Further, their innovations such as direct injection and variable valve timing improve efficiency, reduce emissions and increase the overall performance of a GM-powered watercraft when compared to port-fuel injection.

“We’re focused on supporting the growth of the water sports community and it starts with grassroots contests,” said Tony Brower, senior manager of OEM sales, engineering and marketing of General Motors. “These grassroots events are the direct stepping stones and breeding ground for future athletes of the WWA’s Nautique Nationals, Nautique Worlds and Nautique Masters. We love being part of the sport and supporting athletes at the earliest stage of their boating enjoyment.”
