I will perform a very detailed inspection of your vessel called a Condition & Valuation Survey. I will inspect the under water hull, tapping with a phenolic hammer and listening for irregular sounds in the hull, transom, deck, superstructure, keel, engine beds, stringers where accessible, bulkheads where accessible. If the weather is dry and has been dry for a few days I will also use a moisture meter to help determine if there are soft spots (excessive moisture). I will inspect the engine / transmission mounts, fuel system, fresh water system, black water system, grey water system and Electrical system. i will be in all areas of your vessel.

That being said, all fishing gear, clothing, general stuff that is not needed on board needs to be removed for access.

Please leave all safety equipment (flares, life preservers, charts, portable radios, chart plotters, throwing lines, life rings etc) on board for inspection.

I will then create your report (could take a day or two) I will then email you an invoice. Once paid I will email you a copy of your report. I can also print one off should you like a hard copy.

Your report will have pictures of your vessel, any pertinent pictures of areas of concern. I will provide a fair market value for your vessel is it is, on the day of the survey and a replacement cost should something happen and you need to replace the vessel with something new or much newer.
