The cost of a survey is dependent on several factors . The vessel’s age, its location, the type of vessel it is (sail versus power, it’s condition and also the complexity of its systems must be taken into account when determining the fee. For that reason I ask you to call so that we can both be clear on the project and its scope.
Mileage in excess of 75 miles from Vonore, Tennessee is billed at the published IRS business mileage rate (round trip). My general operating range is within a 200 mile radius of Vonore, Tennessee. However, I will travel to where the work is, but additional costs may be incurred. [links]
Pre-purchase, Insurance and Condition & Value surveys include a one hour sea trial. If the vessel is hauled as part of the survey an inspection of the vessel’s wetted surface and underwater machinery is included in the survey at no additional charge. However, it is customarily the responsibility of the buyer to pay that cost. It is not included in the survey. It is always best to discuss your particular survey needs over the phone in order for us to accurately quote a fee.
My 42 years’ experience in the marine field includes molded ship building, refitting, re-powering, consulting and surveying vessels from 16’ to 75’. I have sold and delivered over 1,200 vessels, acting as seller or purchasing agent. I have logged over 109,000 nautical miles on these multiple hulls on the Pacific Coast, inland waters, and lakes throughout Canada and the USA. more
If you are purchasing, insuring, refitting or operating a powerboat, having an accredited Marine Surveyor inspect and report on the vessel has many benefits including ensuring your safety afloat. A powerboat is a big investment, and you need to protect that investment by having a professional marine survey inspection. A boat assessment focuses on the entire boat, its structural integrity, propulsion and on all on board systems. Our Survey inspection gives you a comprehensive report for your safety afloat and a summary of the operational conditions and limitations of your vessel. more
My experience enables me to offer you a complete perspective of your vessel. I ensure that you get a full survey report that protects your insurable investment. more
