“I’m very much looking forward to being on the boat manufacturers side of the business,” said Shedden. “I will be working closely with the design and engineering team at Stanley Boats to help expand both the market support and the product lineup.”

“John will be particularly valuable to us in both the engineering and also the custom side of our business,” noted Bill Connors, “thanks to his extensive range of experience working for two of the major marine engine companies. He has a great track record with OEM boat builders and John has a reputation for really taking care of business for the marinas and the consumer side as well. He is a great ‘listener’ and really understands the goals we are helping our clients to achieve. This is a big career change for John and we are very proud to have him join the team at Stanley Boats.
