Contact BoatUS and ask for a copy of their approved surveyors in your

Considering the purchase of a boat in San Diego and am looking for
recommendations on surveyors.
I have been told the going rate is $10/foot and haulout is also about the
same.
Looking for someone that will do a thorough job for the money.
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I see they have a Marine Surveyors
Directory which lists a number of surveyors for Southern California
including two in San Diego. I also see the following disclaimer:

"NOTE: BoatUS does not endorse or guarantee the performance of
surveyors. No warranties, expressed or implied are intended or created
by this listing. Any questions regarding the scope of the surveyor's
inspection the cost, or the content of their reports should be
discussed with the surveyor."

This makes me think anyone can be listed if they pay. Nevertheless I
will contact the two San Diego listings to see what they offer.
