It all began as an idea for a second career. Dick Rowe had just finished his 20 year hitch in the US Marine Corps and, along with wife Donna, they set up a small industrial and marine supply distributorship; Indmar Products Company, Inc.

Among their early products were industrial and irrigation pumps based on V-8 automobile engines. Then came a few custom marinized inboard engines for jet boat manufacturers. At first this was a matter of bolting on off-the shelf parts. But the quality just wasn't there. So, Dick started making his own major subcomponents to meet his quality and durability standards. This decision paid off.

Word soon spread that Indmar marinized inboards were built to a high standard. They were more reliable and more durable. And the kicker was that the performance of these new Indmar inboards was right up there with the big boys ... in many cases even better.

Boat manufacturers were pleased to find that doing business with a company led by a veteran Marine was a straight forward, no nonsense proposition. The product performed as promised or better, and the customer service was honest, courteous and professional.

To concentrate exclusively on building top-of-the-line inboard power, the distribution business was phased out. And Indmar built the most efficient, up-to-date inboard engine manufacturing facility in the world.

Today, more than 30 years later, Indmar is the world's largest privately held manufacturer of gasoline powered inboard marine engines. And is the proven leader in advancement of inboard power technology.

Equally important, Indmar is still family owned and operated.

Indmar takes pride in building inboard engines... for the long run.
