Is it just my experiences or are most surveyors terrible ? The first survey I had done, for ins purposes, years ago, The surveyor was inept, he didnt know hull blisters from from paint flakes, seriously. He told me that I had blisters when in fact it was were the bottom paint had flaked off and I had painted over it. Idiot, but the ins co reccomended him and the boat passed the survey just fine. It was a real POS, he missed a lot. Another surveyor wrote my Sporty, with 8V92s up as being "full displacement", and, was completely surprised by a number of things that are normal for this type of boat. Just today a friend of mine that has a house boat for sale told me that the buyers surveyor was there today. Dave is exceptionally knowledgeable in the boat world, having owned a service co. in the orange beach Al. area for lots of years. He said this guy didnt have a CLUE what to look for. That has also been my experience. I'm sure everyone will say "my guy yada yada yada" but after dealing with these "professionals" on numerous occasions I think they are terrible, as a whole. Your thoughts ?
