A proudly Queensland workshop

A long history in the Bundaberg region.

Bowman Marine started out in the early 1990s dealing with local trade. It has grown to the point of handling customers from right around Australia and overseas as well.

The job is simple: find out what's wrong with your motor, fix it properly and get you back on the water. If it needs a part, there's a good chance it's already sitting in the shed. If it needs replacing, there are tested second-hand outboards in the yard.

Customers say it best. Darren knows his craft, finds the problem, gives good advice for next time and goes out of his way at short notice when you need him.

Upgrading the motor on your boat?

One customer went from a 50hp to a 60hp and couldn't be happier with the result. Talk to Darren about the upgrade, and he can fit it and sort a trailer problem while he's at it.

I picked up my boat from Darren yesterday and could not be happier with the work, he goes out of his way to accomodate the customer and his prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend using Darren's services in Bundaberg.

Update: Darren just completed an upgrade to my boat from a 50hp to a 60hp and I couldn't be happier with the result. His knowledge, professionalism and customer service are second to none. He always goes above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone
