*(Surveyors are the vital key that provide buyers with accurate
information on the boat they wish to purchase or maintain. Boats
being purchased with financing and insurance require a full marine survey on
all vessels. Surveyors inspect the engines, hull, stringers, electronics and
all mechanical equipment, interior, safety equipment, bilge, sea trials,
engine oil analysis, valuations, recommendations, and provide a detailed
report with pictures.)
