Hunter None Yet North Texas Landlocked
Hey all,

Anyone have a recommendation for a good surveyor to do a PPI of a Hunter 430 in the Houston/Kemah area? Would need him/her week after next (week of Aug 3rd). Looking for someone familiar with big hunters if at all possible. If not, someone familiar with older boats that will need some work.

Thanks!!!

I assume this is private sale otherwise your broker would have a recommendation. If that is the case, the Cruisers Forum thread recommends Kemah surveyors and the following links are some of those listed in that thread.

Perry's Marine Survey 281-474-5273

I purchased many sail and power boats and never used the same surveyor and in a number of cases no survey and relied on the owner's last survey. Even sold boats without a survey based on my previous survey. Never had an issue I could not deal with or accept. A sea trial will generally confirm engine performance / vibration, etc. So good luck with your survey path forward.

Contact Seabrook Shipyard in Kemah and ask for Janice. She can give you the names/contact info for a few surveyors in the area. Her number is 281-474-2588.
