Most everything constructed or created by human beings begins with an idea. Compelling, inspiring visions can touch the core of our being, capture our imagination and activate our passion.
Glenn Watson had a clear and exciting vision for the future, he wanted Watsons Marine to build their own plate alloy boats. After much discussion about his vision & where future possibilities could take them, the father & son team agreed to give it their best.
Frank Watson with years of experience at sea, on charter vessels, trawlers, offshore fishing up & down the Queensland coast on all size vessels and building boats was the perfect person to convert Glenn’s vision into reality.
Frank had the right contacts in the trade, which made their job so much easier. In 2000 Watsons Marine delivered their first Vindicator Boat to professional fishermen on Fraser Island. The boat is still being used for professional fishing today and is looking as good as ever.
Currently, Watson’s Marine Centre is one of the top Australian boat & trailer manufacturers, custom designing & building Vindicator Quality Aluminium Boats & Trailers in Queensland & Australia. They are one of the best alloy boats and trailers in their class today, with a solid reputation for delivering superior crafted vessels and trailers, providing exceptional customer service to their clientele. Our testimonials and the fact they are very hard to find second hand is a testimonial to this statement. Building boats & trailers for the Queensland Government under survey makes us extremely proud, the alloy boats & trailers play a very important role in rebuilding our Great Barrier Reef, and the all-important research into our planet. The Australian Marine Institute of Science, James Cook University & Griffith University play a very important part in this process.
