I live on Long Island, and am looking at a used boat. I was wondering
if anyone can tell me the best way to find someone to examine it
before making the purchase. My father in law knows an engine guy, but
I don't know anyone who knows hulls/bodies.

Thanks

Give a call to Boat/US and ask for a surveyor in your area. They are good
on the insurance price also.
