After 30 years in the marine industry, Kevin Griffin has sold Kev & Ian’s Marine to Luke Sharp from Outboard Marine Technologies. Kev & Ian’s Marine will be relocating to new, renovated premises in Wiri, South Auckland, with easy access to SH20 and SH1.

Luke’s long-term association with Kev & Ian’s Marine began as a kid, when he played hide and seek in the boat yard. Kevin Griffin gifted him his first computer. Luke took charge of spare parts and the showroom in 1998, the relationship culminating in this purchase.

The new-look Kev & Ian’s Marine will boast a diverse boatyard with new boat brands and packages. All service work will be performed by Outboard Marine Technologies, located in the same industrial complex.
