What is the boat and where in Alabama is it?
I Live in Huntsville and know several good mechanics in North to Central
Alabama that I would trust.

OK so I live in New England and cut a deal to buy a boat in Alabama.
I buy it contingent on a survey and a visual inspection.
How do I find a good, trustworthy mechanic to look the engine over?
Do I trust the broker? Thats sounds like the fox in the henhouse.
Call a random dealer in the area?

Any experiences out there to share?

The boat is a Proline 251 located in Dauphin Island. Must be near Gulf
Shores I'd guess.
Its on Ebay.

Sorry, can't help you there. It is located south of Mobile.

I would definetly get an independent. Should be able to find one thru the
better business bureau and the yellow pages for Mobile/Dauphin Island. I
would definetly call the better business bureau to verify no complaints.
You might also make a few calls to some local dealers (again find them in
the Yellow pages web site) and see if you get a couple of dealers who
suggest the same inspector.
