Excerpt from: Great Lakes Boating Magazine December 2003

Itzhak Kadosh is a designer, president and founder of IK Yacht Designs in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. He has designed the interior of boats for over 15 years thanks to a strong word of mouth from customers and has moved his operation into more upscale digs. "We moved our facility and expanded it to a 6,000-foot workroom, and10,000-foot Showroom" Kadosh proudly explained. IK Yacht Design employs around 20 workers, who can usually finish a boat in a day or two and often will work on around eight boats at a time.

Kadosh, comes up with an idea as to what to do with the interior of the boat after getting an idea of what the customer would like. Kadosh takes it a step further though, as he pitches it in a much more formal manner involving a full presentation. He claims around 99 percent of people approve his ideas.
