Paulywood Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Craig, I used a charter captain out of Grand Haven who was also a surveyor. He came highly recommended but for the life of me I can't remember his name. I was very happy with his work. I'll try to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulywood Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Capt Mark Veurink (616) 638-3331.Yup, that's the guy. It's been a good year for me, I have been limited in the number of times I've been out but have done pretty good this year. I really can't complain. Too bad summer is ending fast.

Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I've heard of Mark but don't know him, and if you want a second choice, the guy to see is John Watson, formerly a DNR inspection officer, he is very thorough, and makes a great surveyor, he works hard for the pay too, I mean very hard too. What's the rate for this boat from Mark? I think Watson was about $300, last I knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Grimm Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 The guy to see is John Watson, formerly a DNR inspection officer, he is very thorough, and makes a great surveyor, he works hard for the pay too, I mean very hard too. What's the rate for this boat from Mark? I think Watson was about $300, last I knew.Ed,I am looking to have a boat surveyed in Ludington and called John Watson. His voicemail said he is out of commission (temporarily) due to a hip surgery. Would you know of another surveyor in the area? If not would you know someone with experience that could tag along, while I am looking at the boat? So far since I am unable to find a surveyor in the area, I have been doing a lot of reading online and found this interesting article. http://www.pcmarinesurveys.com/Marine%20Survey%20101.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REIDABIS Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 the guy that does the current charter inspections for the u.p. is Marc Nugent out of Traverse City, MI (231) 649-6776He travels where needed and has a good resume. Not sure on his rates other then the charter inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Grimm Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Just got off the phone with Mark and he doesn't typically go that far this time of year, but after I look at the boat on Sat. and if I am satisfied with it, we might be able to work out a time. Thanks for the referrals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
