It is with great pleasure that Arvor Boats Australia announce that John Crawford Marine is now the official Arvor distributor for Queensland.

Matthew Hodson, who with his wife purchased JCM in 2004, is no stranger to the Arvor brand. Matt has been selling Arvors since 2001 when he sold his first Arvor 20 to a QLD customer.

Matt remembers those early days. "Sales quickly grew and we were told that the shipwright could at best only build two a month, so build slots started to get allocated and we had fun times generating even more demand for these unique boats."

Now in 2020, as the official distributors, Matt and the JCM team are more than ready to take on the latest addtions to the Arvor range.

"We look forward with anticipation and excitement that we can now target a wider consumer base and demographic as Arvor's design, price point and family/fishing designs should allow the brand to be appealing to buyers of all ages and boating experience." he said.

Peter Collins, who as managing director of Arvor Boats Australia has been representing the Arvor brand for nearly 25 years, is as equally excited about the new arrangement and the future.

"Matt and his team at John Crawford Marine are one of the best in the business. Their passion and knowledge of the boating market is well known and given Matt's history with the Arvor brand, I have no doubt that our new models will be embraced by Queenslanders just as much as the original models were."
