North Queensland Outboard Wreckers
About this opportunity
North Queensland Outboard Wreckers is a long-established Townsville specialist operating across outboard wrecking, used-parts supply, servicing, repairs and reconditioning. The business brings dismantling, workshop capability and resale activity together within one focused marine trade operation.
Its operating model creates several connected income streams. Recovered components support the used-parts side of the business, workshop capability supports servicing and repairs, and reconditioning creates further opportunities for resale. The business also supplies pre-loved parts and used or reconditioned engines to customers across Australia.
This is a practical acquisition for an established marine business seeking specialist outboard capability, or for a hands-on owner-operator with marine, mechanical or used-parts experience. An incoming owner can continue the established operating model while building on their own technical capability, customer relationships and growth plans.
Business Story
North Queensland Outboard Wreckers offers an incoming owner a specialist platform within the Townsville marine trade sector. The business is built around the practical requirements of outboard owners: locating replacement components, diagnosing faults, completing repairs and returning serviceable engines and parts to the market.
The used-parts operation provides a cost-efficient alternative for customers seeking components for older or discontinued outboards. The business supplies pre-loved parts and used or reconditioned engines to customers across Australia, extending its market beyond walk-in and local workshop demand. Stock changes continually as engines and components are acquired, dismantled, assessed and prepared for sale.
The workshop adds technical depth to the operation. It services and repairs major outboard brands and undertakes reconditioning work on power heads, gearboxes, trim and tilt units, starter motors and related components. This capability enables the business to address customer needs ranging from individual replacement parts to more substantial repair and reconditioning work.
The business is supported by an existing technical team, including a qualified marine mechanic, trade assistants and an apprentice. It offers a buyer a defined operating niche with established processes and a mix of parts, workshop and resale activity. An experienced marine operator can retain the current model or apply their own customer base, product knowledge and growth plans to the opportunity.

Phil started his working career in purchasing with large and multi-national companies in Sydney.
A family relocation to Bowen in 1974 was the catalyst to owning his own business.
Phil has been in various businesses from Pest Control to Delicatessen/Takeaway and has for the last 39 years built a wholesale business that has served Bowen, Whitsundays, Mackay and the Coalfields, from 1 truck and himself to 6 trucks and 15 employees.
This has given Phil a very solid knowledge of the area from Bowen to Rockhampton and what it takes to thrive in business there.
Phil has a strong knowledge of business and business practices built through the process of growing his own business as well as time spent on State Franchise Council and dealing with the many changing government policies in those 39 years.
The process of selling his own business has shown Phil the real need for a locally based business broker, easily contacted and heavily focused on the Central Queensland area, which has led to his involvement in CQ Business Brokers.
