Our Mission Statement ...

"Accurate" ... Exchange of Information
through applying Integrity, Proactive, Timely
and Innovative Practices
    
Buyers ....

Regardless of whether your purchase is for personal use, commerical use, or for resale ....

Make sure that your final ... "Agreed Upon Purchase Price and Sales Agreement"
is contingentupon ... the "Findings and Recommendations" listed in  a ... "Professional Report of Marine Survey" prepared by an experienced, professional, Accredited Marine Surveyor.

The "Report of Marine Survey" will provide you with vital information that will help you reach a "Fair Market Value" with the seller based upon facts presented in sections covering

  • Findings and Recommendations,
  • an opinion as to "Condition" using standardized and industry accepted ratings,
  • and an opinion of the Estimated Market Value using industry accepted sources of comparable sales
Besides providing you with that information, once you purchase ... that same report serves as one
of the "Risk Assessment Documents"  required by
  •  a finance  company for providing funds for a boat loan
  •  an insurance company for providing coverage for hull and machinery.

Astute and "Experienced" boat buyers have learned that it is always in their best interest to hire
a professional, Accredited Marine Surveyor.
