Rowell's 30 years of sales, marketing and management experience within the boating industry further solidifies iboats' position as the premiere company in the industry focused on building marine retailers' sales and profits online.
"The opportunity here at iboats is second to none," said Rowell, "iboats has truly created a revolution in helping retailers sell more boats. This team is incredibly talented, committed and uniquely positioned to building the business of the marine retailers they serve. The opportunity to play a major role in the creation of the future of marine retailing was something I simply couldn't pass up."

"We're making very rapid progress, and have ambitious goals for the future. With Rowell's business development leadership, our initiatives will be further accelerated. Even before joining us full-time, Ben played a key role as a consultant in helping us land exclusive online supplier status for the Southern California Marine Association and planting seeds for a number of other partnerships that will rapidly be coming to fruition."
Prior to iboats.com, Rowell was General Manager of the Q Lube Marine Services subsidiary of Penzoil-Quaker State Company, where he built the company's mobile marine oil change and maintenance business from the ground up. Prior to his role with Q Lube, Rowell was the Product/Marketing Director for Mercury Marine's Quicksilver Division where he led the marketing of marine accessory, service parts and inflatable boat lines, totaling over $300 million in annual sales.
