The Survey Experience

You have come to the right place if you need a marine survey! Whether it's a prepurchase survey, for insurance coverage, or to establish value, a marine survey is the way to do it.
In particular, prepurchase and insurance surveys can uncover serious issues with the boat that are not easily identified - and save you thousands of dollars and tons of grief! What does a surveyor look for? Below are just a few:
This rot was well hidden until the engine collapsed into the bilge.
Corrosion
Often, corrosion on a boat is well hidden behind machinery or a bulkhead.
Core Rot
Usually, core rot does not become visible until something - such as the engine - collapses.
Electrical
Most boat fires are caused by bad wiring and faulty connections
Fuel Systems
Ever seen a boat explode when leaving the fuel dock? I have!
Hull Issues
Osmotic blisters on the hull can create delamination and a weakened hull.
Dewatering
Do the bilge pumps work? You could be in serious trouble if they do not!
