Does (or can) a surveyor offer advice on pricing, or is that out of
his territory?


Our survey included a listing of recent prices.

that is true when i looked at my surveys all of them have a market
price on them but no opinion price. in other words this is what a used
such and such costs. not this is what i would pay for such and such. I
called a couple of surveyer friends and they have listing prices and
an average calculator but when i asked if they felt comfortable giving
a what they would pay for the boat price all but one said that would
not be ethical, the one said his job is to find the flaws not find the
money. so i guess the thing would be it depends on your definition of
giving a price.
