Business Close-Up: Getting on the water
The fact that Plowman’s Marine has been in business since 1969 is testimony to its great customer service and quality products at affordable prices. Owned and operated today by Kirk and Kent Plowman, and their wives Vicki and Amy Jo respectively, this spacious and impressive store was started by Kent and Kirk’s parents, Ralph and Barbara Plowman.
Today Plowman’s Marine is located at 382 Hwy. 51 in Woodruff on four acres bordering Arrowhead Lake. Plowman’s provides many options for those ready to enjoy the great outdoors.
Take for instance the wide selection of boats offered here. From spacious pontoons to efficient and fast moving fishing boats Plowman’s has many styles and models to choose from all year long. Bennington Pontoons, Harris Pontoons, Lund fishing boats and Malibu Ski boats, Cobalt sport boats and Hurricane Deck boats are all available under one roof.
offers many convenient service options also. For instance, customers can test drive a boat on Arrowhead Lake before they purchase one, and all boats serviced at Plowman’s are test driven to make sure they are running correctly. While the marina is located on four acres which provides plenty of space, there are also two off-site, fenced in areas with two large buildings that allows storage for 200 units during the winter months. Plowman technicians will also remove a boat from the water, winterize it, and then get it ready for a summer of fun in the spring. Delivery is available, as well as pick up.
In addition, Coachman and Dutchman campers are also offered at Plowman’s. Home away from home is not such a far stretch with these impressive units that offer customers a wide range of luxuries and conveniences when they are spending time exploring outdoors. They have a large selection on the showroom floor at all times so customers always have a great selection to choose from.
Plowman’s also has a huge selection of accessories, for campers and boats, to browse through. Everything from life jackets, cup holders, ropes, water toys, electronics, hardware, skis, swim ladders and much more is available. And if there is a product a customer needs, the Plowman’s and their staff are more than happy to order it. In addition there is a complete service and rigging department which will customize a boat or RV to perfection.
