I've been doing engine inspections for 20yrs and thus am around a LOT of surveyors. One thing I found is as they get older, it is harder for them to get around and being human they don't want to be in pain. People also just get tired of doing things and can get sloppy.

The best situation I have seen was when a surveyor got 60+, he'd get a skinny apprentice to do the crawling. That works really well and I know two locals that went that route.

That "service all through hulls" is a cop-out. Bring the issue up with him and see how he responds. He should be embarrassed and offer some consideration.
