ARKANSAS MARINE

Boat enthusiasts launch new location

Boating season is right around the corner, and Saline County has a reputable, friendly source for boats and accessories, along with exceptional service, at a convenient new location on Interstate 30.

In business since 1992, Arkansas Marine is run by people who take pride in the products they sell and the service they deliver.

Owner Ron Hudson and his wife, Michele, have built a family business that offers a line of products that includes SeaArk, Skeeter bass and multi-species boats, G-3 Eagle, jon boat and SunCatcher pontoons, and Yamaha outboard motors. The business also services Yamaha, as well as Mercury, Johnson, Evinrude and Mercruiser products. The service department has earned a five-star certification from Yamaha.

Arkansas Marine also offers parts and accessories that include tubes, ski ropes and boat bumpers.

“If we don’t have it, we will find a way to get it for you,” Ron said.

A friendly atmosphere and a knowledgeable staff that treats customers with respect are what Hudson said he strives for in the day-to-day operation of his business.

A former boat racer, Ron always wanted to have a “boat place where people could go get answers and not be lied to,” he said. “I love making new friends and customers who love boats and love going to the lake.”

Arkansas Marine’s staff takes extra time with customers who come into the shop to purchase a boat to determine the right kind of boat to fit the particular individuals.

“The most important thing is trying to put the person in the right boat,” Ron said.

The Hudsons said the time is right for customers to visit their new location.

“Don’t miss out on the great incentives and rebates for boats and motors available now until March 31,” Hudson said.
