Hello and Need Referral in Queensland

[rabbidoninoz]

G'day, everyone! Newbie here, an American working and living in Australia since May. I just had an offer on a boat accepted and would appreciate referrals for a marine surveyor and diesel mechanic for pre-purchase inspections in Southeast QLD. The boat is at Hope Harbor on the Gold Coast; it's a Roberts Longboat 21 launched in 1982, powered by a Yanmar 2Q20. Thanks in advance for the assistance with this and other issues that will surely arise as I enter the Brave New World (to me) of boat ownership. All the best...

Thanks, Lee! Yes, the mobile still works; I spoke with him Friday afternoon and arranged for it this week. He seems like a very friendly and knowledge-able guy. I'm sure he'll work out just fine. All the best...

The survey was today; there are a couple of things to hash out with the seller, but overall the boat is remarkably sound and tidy for 30 years old. Mechanicals will be checked tomorrow!

(Can you tell she's my first boat?)
