A marine survey is a detailed inspection of a boat done by a trained and qualified professional for the purpose of determining the vessel's current condition and its suitability for use in conditions for which it was designed. A surveyor adds an unbiased, experienced evaluation to that of a prospective purchaser and will identify items requiring attention be they maintenance, repairs or just good marine practice. Why Should I Get One? The short answer is safety and security, physical and financial.
Another factor is knowledge base. A good surveyor will be familiar with most boat makes and models, their design, equipment and appointments, and any recurring problems, allowing him/her to advise whether your intended purchase makes sense in relation to how and where you plan to use it. If a loan or insurance is involved, the lender or insurance company will likely require a survey as well, so having one done up front will meet all contingencies. |
