EdB Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 A marine surveyor is a specialist who will check the overall condition of your boat and rate it. Area's of critical importance in a survey are the stringers, stern and overall structural integrity of the haul. They will check moisture content in these areas. It will cost a few hundred for a survey. It is a good idea to get a survey before you buy a large costly used great lakes boat. If they have been slipped in the water for many years, there can be a risk for rot in the haul. Water can penetrate from leaks or cracked gel coat. Having this done prior to purchase can help you avoid buying a worn out boat. Hope it all goes well for you. Maybe someone here can recommend a good surveyor. I can't since I haven't been in the boat market for a long time. If you don't get a recommendation here, check with marina's around the great lakes or maybe the yellow pages in port cities. Not all surveyors are equal, a recommendation is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
