TNM also has issues with all their oil ending up in the water. And they are way slower on very typical yacht related work. Figure 3 weeks to 2 months on a simple bottom job.​​

Updating the review I posted last year…read more Let's see - we had a bottom job done. Looked great. Lousy job. They didn't prime the bottom before they painted - so not only did the paint come off in a bunch of places (painted 11 months ago), but it was EXPENSIVE paint and was supposed to last. The worst part is that the shipyard that we took it to this month said that because the priming wasn't done, we started getting bubbles in our fiberglass bottom. Not good. Also, one of the reasons we wanted to have it hauled out at the time was that they said they could maintain our stabilizers. When it came time, they said they didn't have the special tool they needed to do the job. STILL fuming. My advice to you is to stay away.

Mark you think you can get away with this? THAT IS NO NO. Or you think a foreigner like me is easy…read moretarget for stealing money from. I will keep on fighting till getting my money back! Now people know better what kind of person you are. Mark McNamara, the owner of KO Sailing stole my money. I was about to buy a used light blue 2007 laser sailboat at KO Sailing and I put a deposit of $1,300 on 10/15/2018 but since, the boat had damaged on hull, bow eye and lacing eye on boom so I told sales person Pete to repair them so I can pay the rest amount but no responses. They sold the boat without telling any notice, so I decided to get my money back. The owner Mark McNamara This guy told me that check for $1,300 will be mailed to my house in the end of October 2019. I have been checking my mailbox everyday. No surprise. Nothing was sent from him. The owner Mark keeps telling me a lie, keeps ignoring my phone call. I even talked to all his employees (Pete, Sam, and Steph) know that what Mark is doing is not right thing to do. I have added a picture of text message from the owner Mark. He said, "Why I would I send you a check for $1300? you paid $1,200" and "This whole transaction smells of fraudulent activity" so I posted my Bank of America transaction that KO sailing received $1300. and I told him can you proof you only have received $1,200? He does not response anymore. He does not pick up the phone. Attached Picture: Text message from Mark McNamara on 11/6/2019

This is after I have hired them to do work on my boat before and now they refuse to answer any questions about the repairs done or now needed. "We are very busy" is their excuse, and I understand being busy but I don't understand telling me that the owner will call me back on 3 occasions and then being blown off again, again, and again. I don't have confidence in leaving my boat with people who lie about, or forget to call back people that they have assured would be called.
