Peter... Doug Johnstone in MdR, 310-528-2146. Last survey was for an insurance change... I thought my boat was above average... He ripped it .... If there is a problem, Doug will be frank about it....

Your broker should have a list of surveryors they recommend. We used F, Lee Frain, Maritime Consultant, Inc., 949-675-2881, very thorough, detailed and personalized survey. After the survey was complete, the seller wanted Lee's info for surveying his new boat! Years ago, I met Skip Riley (captskipriley@aol.com). He did a series of marine survey classes and I planned on using him if/when we bought a boat.
