Did not follow my instructions; they did not even sand the bottom prior to painting; it's guaranteed to fail. They serviced the engine, including the impeller; then overheated the motor. They then replaced the impeller a second time - which works fine - but charged me for the re-do. They also overfilled the engine and generator with oil. They overfilled the coolant on the generator. They under filled the engine coolant by more than a liter. They left the Turbo exhaust hose clamp loose and leaking. Then charged me 8.5 hours for sea trial and quality control. There is more, but you get the idea... Poor maintenance. No supervision. No quality control. And for all this premium boatyard experience, they delivered the boat 8 weeks late - half the cruising season in Maine! Lyman-Morse: the worst of the worst!

I was in the process of evaluating a 41 foot, 10 year old catamaran for purchase and wanted to get…read morea pre-purchase survey done. After carefully reviewing all I could find about all the surveyors within 150 miles of where the boat was located I selected Tom Lokocz of Maine Design Company. His credentials were exceptional for what I needed: 1) he had spent his life around boats, to include doing repair work himself, 2) he has what few surveyors have . . both a BS and an MS in mechanical engineering, 3) he is accredited with several prestigious surveyor accreditation groups, and 4) the sample survey that he provided on my request showed great thoroughness and attention to detail. I too have spent a great deal of time around boats and, in fact, worked as a shipwright for a number of years in the full range of marine repair. Therefore I knew that I could do quite a good survey on my own, but yet was willing to pay for the services of a professional because I could appreciate the value that could be derived from having an 'expert' set of eyes looking for potential problems. In the end I was quite pleased with Tom's work and felt the time and expense of the survey were worth every penny! Due to the likelihood of bad weather on the scheduled day for the survey Tom visited the boat by himself the prior day so that he could take some moisture measurements of the hull. Then on 'survey day' we met at the boat and I followed him around to observe his process. His approach is very organized and he systematically examined virtually every square inch of the boat from 'stem to stern'. During this time he was taking notes and photographs which were later included within the final survey. I had flown in to Maine from North Carolina and had some time constraints in order to catch a returning flight late that afternoon. Tom was agreeable to work with me on my limited schedule such that he worked straight through for a solid six hours without stopping for lunch or even a break! It took him a few days to prepare the finished survey which he e-mailed to me in PDF form. The survey itself was much like his examination, meticulous, quite complete and most of all accurate and fair. I highly recommend Tom and Maine Design Company!

This is a review of a marine survey prepared by Mike McHenry, an employee of Maine Design Company…read moreof Appleton, Maine, of a boat owned by the writer of this review. Mr. McHenry has a BS in economics, and has worked over the years as a mate, captain, and owner of a traditional ketch in the Windjammer fleet, and as a journalist. He is an associate surveyor registered with the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors. Associate surveyors in the Society have not yet qualified as an accredited marine surveyor. As of this date, Maine Design Co. and it's owner, Tom Lokocz Adams, is not a member of the American Boat and Yacht Council, National Association of Marine Surveyors, nor the Boat US Technical Exchange. I was present during the time the survey was undertaken by Mr. McHenry. After some time, he indicated that he was finished with his information gathering. At that point, I left the boatyard. I I stopped by about 1/2 hour later, and Mr. McHenry was still on my boat, proceeding in my absence, without my permission. At this point, I started to have misgivings. Throughout Mr. McHenry's report to the prospective buyer, the words "appears", "may be compromised", "remove for inspection, replace or repair as necessary" appear repeatedly. In addition, he states that "a more thorough inspection or test... is necessary to determine..." The list of his "inspect and repair if necessary" items were all designated as "urgent and must be performed". Although Mr. McHenry found no defects in the systems, the potential buyer would have to have extensive inspections performed, including dropping the keel and removing the centerboard, that would total in cost about $20,000. In summary, you may not be surprised that the buyer Mr. McHenry worked for, who truly loved the boat and was over-the-moon excited about owning her, walked away from the contract. In my opinion, Mr. McHenry was not qualified to survey this boat. The long list of expensive inspections that he required did not help the buyer, but merely protected Captain McHenry's posterior.

Their high standards and excellence make me feel confident about doing business with Coastal Boatworks and I know they help keep me safe while I'm out on the water. The impeccable service and delivery has always been honest and reliable. My quality of life has truly improved now that I have an affordable boating option for use in my free time.
