Me? My name is Bill Kelly, I am the MASTERTECH - - In 2002 we decided to relocate from Hawaii, on the "Big Island", Konaside to the Florida panhandle. I was able to purchase a nice place on the East Bay in Navarre (since relocated a bit more north to Milton, Florida). I grew up in LaPorte, Indiana, on Pine lake. Been an outboard nut since my grandpa gave me an old Johnson 2 1/2 HP motor when I was 8 years old. Ran it on a Star craft "tin" 12' boat. Star boat and tank in Elkhart, Indiana built more stock watering tanks than boats in those days! One thing led to another, here I am.

I have a lifetime of experience. Over 45 years as A dealer, technician, and race driver. One of the first to be certified as a
"MASTER TECHnician"
by OMC, 1977. Our racing team won many national championships, set competition records, achieved numerous "US-1" high points in class in Outboard Performance Craft (OPC) competition.
"We beat the Factory teams"!

I also enjoy collecting and restoring "antique" outboards and associated boats and gear. During the off-season you can usually find me in the back of the shop resurrecting a classic.

I have spent my business life becoming proficient at what I do, and I can now share this knowledge with you through the wonder of the web. So, if you want to fix your motor, get out front, or just get off the beach:

I've been in the marine parts business since 1990, and have worked with Force, Chrysler, Mercury, Johnson, and Evinrude outboards, & Volvo Penta, Mercruiser, and OMC stern drives along the way.

I came down to Florida in December 2005 to help Bill out, since the operation was beginning to overload the abilities of one man to keep up with and he needed someone who knew the marine parts business. That worked out well because the last dealership I was at (for 11 years as Parts Manager/Service Writer) was about to close its doors for good.

I've also been a computer nut since the days of Windows 95 and the original Netscape browser. I learned web design mostly by trial & error and have been fiddling with it ever since.
Looks like Bill got 2 "employees" for the price of one!

I'm responsible for the upkeep and ongoing design of the site as well as answering Quote Requests and processing website orders here at Mastertech Marine.
If you find something wrong with the website or have parts questions I'll be happy to help you.
