Owner: Kurt Miller / AKA - The Boat Doctor The Boat Doctor Inc. was established in Chicago, Ill. in 1990 by Kurt Miller a former mechanic and service manager at a leading suburban Chicago marine dealership. The Boat Doctor was first opened as a mobile service to provide needed services to the boaters along the Chicago lakefront harbors. The business grew and a shop was acquired on the South side of Chicago to provide services to an expanding customer base while still providing mobile services to the close-by harbors. With a crew of eight mechanics the business provided 1st class marine services for many years at that location. Also in the early 90's Kurt was driver and mechanic for an offshore race team Gaglione Racing. They ran a race boat named "Matchless", a 32' Maelstrom Cat that was powered by three 300hp Mercury race motors. The team was undefeated in 1992 in the Central Division and placed 2nd at the World Championship. In 2000 Kurt moved The Boat Doctor Inc. to Downers Grove, Ill. Recently, November of 2005, Kurt Miller purchased Westerman’s Marina in Portage, In., just off Rte. 249. In 2010 Kurt purchased and expanded the company to include the old Treasure Chest Marina (right across the street). The new place is named Miller's Marine Center and features indoor and outdoor storage, service, boat sales and rentals.
