The Watson's Marine Family includes three generations that has been involved in the marine trade for over 60 years. Raymond Watson started selling outboards in 1948 and became the founder of Watson's Marine Centre on 1st January 1969. Frank soon joined his father and they worked together for several years. With his wife Denise, Frank took over the business in 1982. They were joined by their son Glenn in 1994.
Watson's Marine Centre built their business on four basic principles:
+ Provide the best customer service possible.
+ Use only top quality products at top value prices.
+ Have a high degree of integrity and pride in all that we do. Do it once and do it right.
+ Employ top quality technicians, accredited welders and responsible staff to do the jobs.
Being a country family business that cares, makes it easy to achieve these principles.
All the family have been involved in boating, skiing, fishing the surf and estuaries and most of all, fishing the outside waters of the Queensland Coast in all conditions. This has given us years of practical experience and knowledge of how a vessel should perform.
Frank and his father have been heavily involved in rescue operations using their own boats for many years outside Fraser Island and Rainbow Beach. They have ventured across the Wide Bay Bar several times during the day and night to help rescue many a sailor and fisherman in distress.
Lots of sea experience has been gathered also from working on charter and trawler vessels day and night in off shore waters. Frank believes you can never have enough sea experience. The sea has no respect for vessel or man when it releases its fury.
Frank and Glenn have launched and retrieved many kinds of boats over the years in the surf at Fraser Island. This practice and place has become the perfect testing ground for our boat designs, and fishing the outside waters of Fraser Island is awesome.
