I serve as your professional eye’s and ear’s in making sure the vessel is as advertised. I survey Fiberglass, Aluminum, Steel, Composite and wood vessels in the pleasure, commercial and High Performance fields. My reports are very comprehensive, thorough and detailed.
I have lived, worked and enjoyed the boating industry for over forty years. From my first job painting bottoms and glasswork to Master Technician, I have worked on thousands of boats and their systems. This knowledge gives me the experience and insight to survey a vessel accurately and comprehensively.
