Koch Marine, the marine division of North American transportation service Koch Trucking, has partnered with Stingray Boats.
Going forward, Koch Marine will handle the transport of all Stingray boats to the company’s dealers across the US and Canada.
“We are excited to join forces with Koch Marine, a company whose values and vision closely align with our own,” said Barry Avent, CEO of Stingray Boats.
“This partnership will allow us to focus on doing what we do best – and that is building boats – and for Koch Marine to do what they do best and that is safely transporting our boats.”
He added: “We have operated our own trucking private fleet for over 45 years but realized that with the rising costs of trucks, trailers and maintenance on them, it made perfect sense to partner with a transportation expert in Koch Marine.”
We are happy they have entrusted us to handle the transportation of their boats.

Family-owned Koch Marine has been transporting boats and pontoons for OEM builders and dealers across the continent for more than 15 years.
Koch Marine has a dedicated fleet of trucks and drivers who specialise in hauling boats and pontoons.
The company’s trucks and trailers incorporate numerous safety features, including lane correction, collision avoidance, and adaptive cruise control.
Both the trucks and trailers also feature GPS tracking technologies, allowing Koch’s customers to track their shipments.
“From the first time we met Barry Avent and his team at Stingray, we knew these were amazing people committed to building a great boat,” said Koch’s national sales manager Jeff Parish.
“We are happy they have entrusted us to handle the transportation of their boats and be a part of their dealer and supplier family.”
Stingray boats is based in South Carolina and manufactures a range of products from outboards to sterndrives. The model line up consists of centre consoles, dual consoles, deck boats and sport boats.
