Surveyor Liability
Hi. I bought a 1998 Sealine 420 Statesman about a year and a half ago and had a certified surveyor inspect and provide a report. The engines are Cummins 6BTA-370 and the surveyor advised that I didn't need another Cummins pro to assist with the survey. My learning curve has been steep and I'm now having the starboard engine rebuilt. The surveyor missed that the exhaust risers had been severely poorly designed and that they would allow water into the cylinders. I heard that surveyors are legally liable for their reports. Is this true? Should I try to recover funds through legal services?
