Buying a marine survey is buying peace of mind. It will give a better idea of exactly what you are getting into with your boat purchase, and help you learn what will be necessary to maintain the vessel in the future to keep you and your family safe, and your investment secure.
Considering the purchase of a boat is a large financial investment for most families, completing a pre-purchase survey is critical to ensure the vessel is sound, safe, and structurally sufficient for the type of boating you plan to do.
A pre-purchase survey involves a detailed look at all accessible major systems of the vessel.
The first part of a full survey entails a detailed look at all the systems on board -- A/C, electrical, generator, steering, etc. Second, the boat is hauled and a thorough examination of the wetted surfaces and machinery is accomplished. This normally includes percussion sounding of bottom and topsides, and a detailed look at the shafts, props, rudders, outdrives, trim tabs, etc. The boat is then put back in the water and a detailed "sea trial/shakedown cruise" is conducted. After which, a report with all findings and recommendations will be produced. Be advised, as every situation and circumstance is different, this schedule or agenda of how the survey is accomplished can be changed or modified to fit the particular needs of the customer. Small or large, a meticulous and detailed survey will be accomplished. I prefer to take my time to ensure you get a quality product!
