A rotten transom is no good! This can cost you thousands to repair, and often times it's not even worth doing if the boat isn't worth it. Hire me to find this before you buy that boat!
Un-secured bilge pump. What do you think happens when water starts rising in the bilge and the pump isn't secured? NOTHING GOOD! Hire me to find these kinds of things before it becomes an emergency.
Something like this would cost you thousands to repair and can be very hard to detect. By hiring us we find the problem for you, thus giving you the knowledge to make an informed purchase.
A cracked raw-water hose has the potential to sink your boat. By hiring a surveyor you can avoid a potential disaster.
Thru-hull fittings are one of the most critical components of your vessel, and could potentially sink your boat if not properly maintained and repaired.
Delaminated fiberglass isn't always as obvious as this, by hiring us to survey your boat we are sure to find any hidden delamination on your boat.
