Anyone care to recommend a surveyor for a 1978 34ft sailboat?

The Boat Show, happening soon, might be a good place to look. I used to know a top rated surveyor who always had a little booth there, altho he is now retired. Ask around on your YC web site, also.

Perhaps finding one near you, then asking in the marina about any experiences will help.

I did my own on my 1974 35ft boat. I knew enough about the basics and the boat value was such that I knew it would be a project boat. If you are spending big money then get a professional to help.

Focus on the key issues.

• Sound hull. No leaks KEEP THE WATER OUT.
• No wet decks Nothing but a pain to repair.
• Equipment works No rust or corrosion.
• Budget for repairs and replacements. Sail boats are sail powered. Mast and sails need to be refit and replaced.
• Get a mechanic to inspect the engine.
• Cross fingers.

Hired Global Marine Surveyors, Inc. at 425/397-6601 to do both of our boats and was very satisfied with their job. Very professional.

2 surveyors in particular for the Seattle area above all others are John Sanford: (425) 941-6354, and Garrett Polehonka, 360 970 6412. You can't go wrong with either one. I've used both.
