Bob,
Checkout Kristoffer (Kris) Diel, sams. 504-236-8151. I haven’t used him personally; however, I have read some good reviews. He has a website with more info.
I just talked to a Surveyor, personally, and chatted with him long enough to tell he does know about sailboats.
I got his card and he was recommended by 2, 40'+ power boat people at our marina.
He works the NOLA area.

I know personally that Stanton, owner of Murray Yachts ,uses Kevin Martin for surveys. Stanton had commissioned a survey by Martin for a boat that I was interested in a few years ago. Really, there aren’t that many sailboat surveyors around New Orleans. Most marine surveyors around these parts are for heavy commercial marine applications for vessels that provide support to the offshore oil & gas industry.
Thanks for all the replies. My problem is that the broker for the boat is Murray Yachts and the boat had a lot of work done by the Murray boat yard for which they have not been paid. So they are trying to sell the boat so the yard can get paid. Almost seems like a conflict of interest to me.
sorry to hear the trouble. since you are in Kemah, it may benefit you to talk to a local Kemah surveyor or see if there are any on the Ms Gulf Coast you could use. Big Easy is correct in that there are few sailboat surveyors in the area. We have more in Kemah due to volume of pleasure craft. good luck.
