ownership to “The Show-Me State.”
Table Rock Boats has been a true lake family operation for many years. Founded at the Port of Kimberling
Marina, Table Rock has been able to provide their customers with a much-needed, convenient outlet to sell
or broker boats. Selling and servicing some of the best known brands in the industry, they have built a huge
on-water presence for both new and pre-owned boat buyers. Currently, they own the largest collection of
wet-slips available on Table Rock Lake. Recognized by many of the brands that they carry as Top 10 or Top 20
selling dealers, it’s no surprise that they’ve also been included on the Boating Industry Top 100 dealers list.
Barletta Pontoon Boats has assembled, and continues to assemble, an impressive network of exceptional
dealers around the country. The Table Rock Boats group is no exception. The Barletta team brings a unique
customer-focused/dealer-centric approach that has been widely embraced as a breath of “fresh air” to the
marine industry.
“There are so many reasons that the partnership between Table Rock Boats and Barletta Pontoon Boats made
sense,” stated Jeff Haradine, Barletta Vice President of Sales. “Not only have the been repeatedly recognized by
their peers as a top-notch marine dealership, but even their customers can’t stop talking about how the Table
Rock team has been instrumental in bringing the dream of boat ownership to their families. We believe that
adding Barletta Pontoon Boats to their portfolio gives them a solid, premium pontoon offering that will be
well-received in the Southwest Missouri boating community.”
“When you listen to what everyone has to say about Table Rock Boats, several re-occurring themes come to
the forefront,” continued Bill Fenech, President & Co-Owner of Barletta Pontoon Boats. “Words like quality,
professionalism, ease of doing business, customer experience, family…and the list goes on and on. At
Barletta, we’ve built the foundation of our business on these same tenets. We are excited about our future
together with Table Rock Boats, and can’t wait to bring the Barletta experience to Southwest Missouri and the
