Hi, all,

I've got an offer on a boat in process. I've had Pete Brown, in the TSP
area, referred to me as a particularly thorough surveyor, with (because
he used to work there) a very unusually deep knowledge of Morgans.

Has anyone used him - and if so, what are your impressions?

Secondly, failing that, are there recommendations in the group for or
against any particular surveyors in either the TSP or FTL areas? I'm
definitely not looking for a deal breaker, but I'm also definitely
looking for someone who will be critical on critical items, and go up
the mast(s) to look at, directly, the fittings, and that sort of thing.
Pete's cited as doing that, and for my 45' class boat, spends 10-12
hours doing it...

Please reply directly, as I may not see it here. Thanks.

I used Mike Davenport of Safeguard Marine in Sarasota to do the hull
and someone whose name escapes me from North Sails of St. Pete to do
the rigging and Mike Downes of M.D Diesel service to do the engine and
was happy with all three. Mike Davenport recommended the rigging guy
and the engine guy. Mike's email is , North
Sail is at 727 898 1123 and David Downes is at 941 485 9079.
