About Us

Wardle Marine was started by Bill Wardle in 1997 when he moved to Port Pirie from Coober Pedy. We are in a prime location within a purpose built building with off street parking and close to the water. We are situated at 104 main road on the way into the city of Port Pirie. You can find us here.

We have sold Mercury outboard motors since we opened and have seen the product grow in both stature and technology to the point where Mercury motors are now considered No. 1 on the water. In this time Mercury and Wardle Marine have had a strong partnership together and intend to continue that into the future with the new Optimax and Verado motors.


Originally selling Bermuda aluminium boats before being invited to sell the Stacer range which also happened to be built in the same Telwater factory. In this time we have seen Stacer boats become one of the top selling aluminium boats on the market. Stacer's range combines affordability with safety and attention to detail which makes for a greater value boating package. Stacer's new "Ready to go" packages take all the hassle out of buying your new boat by packaging your boat with a Mercury motor and trailer, all safety equipment and registrations so you can drive out of the yard and start enjoying your boat sooner. Stacer also supply's a 3 year warranty on boat, motor and trailer for your piece of mind.
Bill started the new store as one of the Got One chain of stores for 3 happy years until in 2000 We also joined the Bargain Boat Bits franchise to be able to expand the boating aspect of our store which we have now done. Being part of a large national chain of store allows us to bring to you the same products and prices as that of stores in Queensland and Sydney. This allows us to give our customers the cheapest price possible and for us to bring city prices to the country.
