Poor service through their negative attitude and lack of communication…read more For the most part they were rude, moody and petulant. Skookum was very poor at communicating. They left you in the dark. They disliked dealing with the client. You are an annoyance to them. The co-owner/mechanic is knowledgeable, experienced and competent. The work he did was good. He performed the major repairs. However, their only other mechanic? who was left to finish off the repairs did not complete the jobs and his work was left uninspected and unrectified. I had to correct his work and complete the works myself. At $175/hour! Not impressed! They claim it was from a lack of time. False. Time was not the issue, they just didn't care about completing the work, and correctly, needed done to comply with survey. After long a month of waiting, I just left. This was a frustrating, unpleasant, and expensive experience.

If you have $110,000 lying around and looking for a custom boat, this local father/son team should…read morebe one of your dock stops, especially if you're looking for luxury, reliability and reputation. According to one of the guys helping out at the booth, they've been in business for over 20 years. Known for their strong hulls, and looking at a closer inspection, you can see why. It's got that "V" look (unlike those sleek power boats) that splits the water, better fuel efficiency, easier in terms of impact thus wear and tear. Just a matter of personal preference as it does look a bit outdated. Call it more family-style lol. Does take several months to come up with the blueprints. But really, they can make the boat, right here in Richmond, for any budget. No pressure, friendly service.

For the same money, you can by a flashier production boat, but you will not have the quality and structural soundness of a Monaro. Dan and Brad were always available for advice during the build.

You will have to be patient during the build, but you will not be disappointed with the end result!

AVOID THESE GUYS AT ALL COSTS!! NO COMPENSATION AND ACCUSED ME OF POSSIBLY ATTEMPTING TO SCAM…read moreTHEM!! I had Alec's Machine Shop disassemble a pair of vintage 1976 Harley Davidson Shovelheads from my original numbers matching Police Special FLH. While inspecting the heads, minus the valves, springs, and valve guides, I noticed the guide "boss" hole on the rear head, looked "beat-up." Upon closer inspection and measurements, it was blatantly evident the "engine builder" neglected to remove the heavy carbon deposits from the portion of the valve guide behind the valve. He hit the front head exhaust guide with such violence while trying to remove it from the head, that it broke a third of the guide right off, and then actually managed to drive the rear head guide (with all the heavy carbon deposits still attached), through the aluminum guide hole boss, tearing up the hole and rendering the damage beyond viable repair. My initial phone call to Alberto (company phone-answerer), to tell him of the damage I had found, was met with instant incredulity, and doubtful accountability. I took both heads in to have the owner's of the establishment scrutinize the findings; again, met with instant proclamations of prior damage, to minimize, if not eliminate, any compensation. All 4 guides (iron), measured .565", (including the guide that came from the now torn up guide hole, measuring up to .593"), and 3 guide holes measured the same (.565"). The damaged exhaust guide hole measured between .570", erratically up to .593". The hole was now "egg-shaped" and off center. The repair would cost a minimum of $850.00 before tax, and could only be performed by an extremely experienced machinist with the right tools, of which this shop was NOT qualified to perform. When all was said and done, no compensation was given, and they basically accused me of attempting to "scam" them, as they claimed that the broken head "may not even be the head they disassembled." After having my 35 years of vintage Harley experience minimized to novice proportions, I couldn't take the inability of these people account for their incompetence. I left feeling completely defeated, never to return.
