Title: Used boat survey/inspection
Post by: Takes Prizoners on June 24, 2016, 11:07:50 AM
I'm looking at a center console down in Belford. The hull seems pretty sound to me but I'm looking to have someone else inspect the boat this time around. It has a 2004 Yamaha 150 on it also I want inspected but I'm not familiar with the yammies. I know that's the area which the 225's have that corrosion issue. Does anyone have any recommendations for a surveyor that is or would get up to that area? Also, how are the surveys generally rated as far as costs?

Yeah. I've heard of only a few unlike the 225's. I want to be on the safer side and have a professional inspect it
