Marlon Recreational Products

We’re thrilled to announce our exciting new partnership with Scotty Fishing Products, a leader in marine accessory innovation. Together, we’re bringing boat customization to a whole new level — and it’s all without the need for drilling holes in your Marlon boats.

Why is this such a big deal? For years, customizing your boat with accessories like rod holders, cup holders, and fishing mounts meant one thing: drilling. But let’s face it — for most boaters, precision when drilling through their boats can’t be guaranteed. You’re often guessing where to place that rod holder, and if you get it wrong, well, now you’ve got holes in your brand-new boat. We’ve all been there, and it’s never fun. But now, with Marlon’s innovative new gunwale system, that’s a thing of the past. Our new gunwale eliminates the guesswork and the risk. It’s designed to allow you to move accessories around without drilling, so you won’t end up with unsightly holes if you decide to change things up. This is a game-changer for customization, giving you the flexibility to attach and remove accessories with ease — all while preserving your boat’s pristine look. But that’s not all — the new gunwale offers even more convenience by providing a hidden channel for all your wiring. Whether it’s for your trolling motor, accessories, or navigation lights, the wiring can be neatly tucked away inside the gunwale, keeping things organized and out of sight. No more messy wires running along the deck or underfoot — just clean, tidy lines that look great and improve functionality.

With Marlon’s new gunwale and Scotty’s innovative accessory designs, you can now swap out accessories on the fly, add new ones whenever you like, and even hide unsightly wires — all without tools and without compromising your boat’s integrity. Whether you’re looking to add a rod holder one day or a cup holder the next, customizing your boat has never been this easy.

“Our partnership with Scotty Fishing Products gives our customers the ability to personalize their Marlon boats like never before — regardless of size,” says Bruce Cameron, President of Marlon Recreational Products. “With no drilling required, boaters can enjoy less hassle and more time on the water. And the best part? This innovative feature is now integrated into all Marlon Jon and Utility boats, from our smallest models to our new 18-footers.”

From fishing trips to relaxing cruises, the ability to personalize your Marlon boat quickly and easily means you get to spend more time doing what you love — enjoying the water. Whether you’re after a practical solution to keep your fishing gear organized or looking for a stylish touch to your boat, this partnership is here to help you make your boat truly your own. Stay tuned for more details and check out our full range of boats from Marlon.
