Dealt with Mick a few times after buying a used Outboard off him a few years ago, Looked after me evertime i called and took time out to give me feedback. Absolute legend. Would definately recommend him to anyone who needs someone that will do you right every time you deal with them.Posted on Peter MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a massive warranty claim, although the manufacturer didn’t support me to their utmost, Mick and his team came through and got me back on the water. With out a doubt the best people in marine in Perth. If you need a repower or building a new boat, check out Mick, you won’t go wrong.Posted on Chris PatonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great customer service. Following my engine first service and new propeller Mick even spent a couple of hours with me on the water ensuring that the new prop, coupled with engine height etc had the boat running where it should be. Highly recommend.Posted on Aaron KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really impressed with Mick and the team at Marine Masters. Great customer service, quick turnaround and he genuinely looks after his customers. The whole experience with my new Yamaha was smooth and hassle-free. Five stars.”Posted on Rick Le RouxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mick did a fantastic job completing the annual service on my 225 Yamaha. He went above and beyond good old fashioned service! Fully transparent, honest, and friendly. I’d highly recommend Marine Masters if you want the best.Posted on Warren JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mick did a superb job repowering my Extreme Game King 795 with a 300hp Yamaha DES. Very approachable, knowledgeable and professional. The work was completed within 24 hours and an overall great experience. I'd highly recommend giving him a call.Posted on RoscoeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend, couldn't ask for better customer service. The team put a new 130 on the back of my 6m rib replacing a 125 optimax. Never would I have thought a 4stroke would come in lighter and faster than the 2 stoke opti. I believe they are genuine guys that love what they do. Thanks again to the team at marine masters, and hope to see them out on the water!Posted on Geoff ShaplandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank Master Marine for the great after sales service day, big relief and I can’t say thank you enough for going the extra milePosted on Frank CollinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Michael (Mick) Franklin was born to be around boats and boat motors. After a solid marine apprenticeship, he left his employer – who bent over backwards to keep him – to start his own business. You see it today as Marine Masters, in Malaga. As word has gotten around, the volume of customers is such that a gifted Mick is looking for bigger premises, but there’s little doubt in my mind that even the largest might not be enough. One visit to the current premises is enough to prove the old adage – if you want a job done, always ask a busy man. I have had my outboard motors serviced by Mick for many years, at excellent quality and a fair price, to my complete satisfaction. He set my new Yamaha outboard up on my new boat last year, and I had no qualms about towing it to him over 800km from and back to Walpole for him to perform the first service. He comes from a great and caring family we’ve long known, and that same care is reflected in his work. He is a down to earth professional who’ll always give a good outcome, and I thoroughly recommend him. Frank Collins Walpole WA
