    "So anyway, I closed on a purchase of a boat the other day. It was exactly what I wanted so there's…read morea big smile here. Let me tell you, the process from my accepted offer to the last signature was nothing less than extraordinary for this newbie. Nathalie was always accessible to answer questions and offer good suggestions and related services. The surveyor she introduced me to was diligent and extremely professional from the actual practice to an excellent report. The quantity of her many satisfied clients is obviously a direct reflection of the quality service Nathalie and the staff at Boatmax provide."

    Avoid purchasing a boat through BoatMax! I trusted them when they said their mechanics did a full…read moreinspection and "all was in great shape" prior to purchasing, only to run into issues IMMEDIATELY after signing the paperwork (even before leaving the dock). $20,000 in repairs later, I feel completely taken scammed. For starters, I was lied to about the boat having a generator. I was told repeatedly there was a generator, and "what a great price this is considering it has a generator." Lo and behold, we find out 10 minutes after signing that there is not a generator. We thought "well, shame on us trusting them and not verifying ourselves", but decided to start the boat, cut our losses, and move on. Well, the boat wouldn't start. After an entire team of mechanics came down the boat and spent 45 minutes inspecting and trying to find an issue, they sloppily used a plastic bag to "repair" a leaking water issue and found that the battery had died. They recharged the battery, and told us that we won't have any more issues as the battery just needed to be jumpstarted after being out of the water for a while during the sale. 15 minutes later, an engine shuts down while on the water. An hour later, the second engine shuts down. We were sitting ducks in the middle of the Hudson. The boat would not start. We called BoatMax repeatedly during this entire fiasco and were essentially told that no issues were found during the inspection or bay test and that the boat is now ours. We finally got towed to our marina 6 hours later. We charged the battery overnight (thinking that maybe it just needed more charge), but everytime we have taken the boat out, even for 15 minutes, at least one engine fails. It has been a nightmare. I just paid thousands of dollars for the boat to undergo a thorough inspection and for all parts to be disabled and tested. It turns out that the boat has major engine failure to the point where it is completely UNSAFE to use and is prone to EXPLODING. I am now having to pay $7,500 to get it to the point where it is even safe to drive, and another $12,000 to fix additional issues that are not immediately crucial but are necessary within the next 12 months for the boat to continue operating. Do not be scammed. Avoid BoatMax.

    Eviction notice posted 5/31/2023. Can't say I'm shocked. Wonder what will happen to the property -…read moreunbelievable that there wasn't huge money to be made with this location and the number of boats needing repair in western Long Island Sound. They did great work for me in 2010 but were incorrigibly absent and unmotivated on a recent metalworking job for which they had all the parts on site.

    Consolidated Yachts is where rich people put their very expensive racing yachts. If you're not…read moreputting everything on an Amex Black card, please keep moving, because they will bleed you for every penny, and/or treat you like you're an incompetent moron. Like a lot of guys in the boating business, the proprietor, Wes Rodstrom, knows everything there is to know about sailing, and when he stands close to you, his massive brain acts as a magnet, erasing your knowledge about sailing, physics, fair price for goods and labor, and self-esteem. He doesn't hesitate to let you know that you're just a giant credit card waiting to swipe, and all his "advice" will end up costing you $700-70,000 dollars. At Consolidated, you're not allowed to do any of your own bottom painting--they would prefer if you would pay them $25/foot plus materials to do it for you. At first I was told that EPA regulations prevented me from doing this, since I haven't taken some 40 hour class. This is of course, total crap, and when I pointed out the real regulation, I was told that I wasn't allowed to do my own bottom paint for "insurance" regulations, something about someone once falling off a ladder. Of course, I don't need a ladder to paint my hull, and it would take anyone doing it all of an hour, so I wasn't about to pay them $500. I was then told that if I didn't paint the bottom I would likely be "not able to sail" the boat, which is just crazy. Anyway, I'll paint it for next season, when the boat will be up on blocks for winter storage at some place far away from Wes's influence. Barron's boatyard looks like a much better option on City Island. Don't give people like Wes the time of day.
