I live in Toronto and am contemplating the purchase of a boat located in Florida. This isn't a massively expensive boat (just over 40k), so the cost of flying down there on the hope that it is actually worth looking at would be a substantial portion of the purchase price.
I have noticed several suggestions here on the forum that rather than wasting time and money traveling long distances to check out a boat it would be more cost effective to hire a local surveyor to do a simple walkthrough of the boat for you and let you know if it is worth the effort pursue the purchase. I think I have seen someone mention a cost of 200 to 300 dollars as a reasonable price to pay.
I think this sounds like an excellent suggestion; and with that said; can anyone point me in the direction of a reliable surveyor in the area of Indiantown, FL who might be willing to take on this kind of job?
Thanks for your input.
