Surveyor Recommendations
Need a recommendation for a good surveyor in the Pompano Beach area if
anyone has had personal experience. Made and had accepted subject to hull, electrical and mechanical survey and sea trail on a 1995 Proline Model 251 WA . I know I can contact my insurance company and/or get list from websites but I want to know if someone has had a good or bad experience with a local surveyor, Thanks. Fred |

. com... Need a recommendation for a good surveyor in the Pompano Beach area if anyone has had personal experience. Made and had accepted subject to hull, electrical and mechanical survey and sea trail on a 1995 Proline Model 251 WA . I know I can contact my insurance company and/or get list from websites but I want to know if someone has had a good or bad experience with a local surveyor, Thanks. Fred I would highly recommend Pete Brown, who came over from St. Petersburg to survey my Morgan 46 in Ft. Lauderdale. He knew this boat had some issues, and so made it his business to come a day early (arrived Sunday early afternoon) and started with 6 hours aboard before we went to dinner. Monday we were aboard the boat before 8AM, and didn't leave until a little after 8PM, after which he drove back to STP. Given the level of detail, I don't expect the written report for a day or two. In the survey, he climbed both masts and looked at the fittings and all the adjacent stuff on the way up (and out, to the tips of the spreaders), so his fee includes a rigging survey, in practical terms. At your size, it may not be practical/cost effective to have him travel, but if I had any questions about the boat, I'd pay the extra to have him come over (well, technically, I already did!). His travel fee is very reasonable, I thought, and given the level of attention to detail he gives a boat, his survey fee, likewise. Here's how to reach him 7882) office (727 244 6534) cell. Oh, and by the way, he was referred to me by none other than Charlie Brown, the owner of the company that built my boat, and several other users, when I was making my preparations for this purchase. L8R Skip (and Lydia, by proxy) cc Pete (Hi, Pete!) -- "And then again, when you sit at the helm of your little ship on a clear night, and gaze at the countless stars overhead, and realize that you are quite alone on a great, wide sea, it is apt to occur to you that in the general scheme of things you are merely an insignificant speck on the surface of the ocean; and are not nearly so important or as self-sufficient as you thought you were. Which is an exceedingly wholesome thought, and one that may effect a permanent change in your deportment that will be greatly appreciated by your friends."- James S. Pitkin |
