  KKMI received my boat when it arrived from Alabama and did a great job of preparing it for launch. They were very accommodating by letting me in the yard to do some of my own work. Janis coordinated with the trucking company and Bret coordinated the bottom paint and other work to get her launched on time.

  In March of 2021, I brought my 32ft trawler to KKMI for a bottom paint job. The paint was falling off in chunks, so KKMI told me they needed to remove all of the existing paint before applying a fresh coat of bottom paint. They quoted me $7200 to complete the bottom job. The manager, Bob Hennessey told me my trawler would be ready to pick up the following week (9 days). The day before I was supposed to pick up my boat, I called Bob to check on the status. Bob became extremely irritated, telling me in a loud voice that he never said my boat would be ready the next day. Then he told me it would be ready the following week, which ended up being 2 additional weeks. When I arrived to pick up my boat Bob came out of his office visibly agitated, touting how I got such a great deal because it took his guys longer to remove the old bottom paint than what he charged me for. I was surprised by his unprofessional demeanor and it was obvious he was taking out his mistake on me. KKMI charged me over $7200.00 and assured me that my bottom paint issue had been resolved. When the trawler was hauled out this June, it became evident that KKMI had neglected to remove the old paint from the rudder before repainting. Their lack of attention caused the same issue that brought me to KKMI in the 1st place. KKMI's office manager said, "You were not charged for the time and labor to remove the excess paint from the rudder". Since when is the rudder not part of a bottom paint job? What a joke! In hindsight, I regret not taking my boat to Svendsen's, whose quote was just slightly higher.

  Quite the Boat Yard. Easily accessable and a beautiful place to boot.
