Any suggestions for a general/hull surveyor for a fibreglass boat in the Gold Coast Queensland region?
Hi Bruce,Any suggestions for a general/hull surveyor for a fibreglass boat in the Gold Coast Queensland region?
We have AMSA qualified people here, but I find when buying interstate best avoid finding too late you used the brokers brother in law as your surveyor. A friend bought a sailboat from Queensland with the best imaginable survey, very nearly sank twice, due to a range of defects. Saved by a very experienced yachtsman friend helping them + the efforts of Water Police and Marine Rescue. Another reason to get local TF suggestions.Up north in 'Mericaland, we have NAMS and SAMS. Societies for accredited marine surveyors. I found my surveyor listed on their site. Apparently there are a lot of phonies out there who claim to be accredited, but are not. Not sure if you have an equivalent in the upside down, but it might be a good resource if you do.
