Need a trustworthy and dependable Surveyor, either S.FL or SXM

[sandog]

Hello and good evening. I was recommended to this forum from the Hull Truth forum.

I just purchase, or under contract to purchase, a new to me, boat. It is a 1999 Princess V55. It is currently located in St. Maarten. From what that forum indicated, is that the surveyors on the island may not do a great inspection/survey and that I should fly a surveyor in from S. FL.

I would love this forum's opinion on this, as well as some highly recommend surveyors that will not screw me over nor gouge me. I am heading to the island this weekend and would like to get this accomplished at the beginning of next week.

I am also looking for a good diesel mechanic to go with me on a sea trial as well before I complete the contract.

Thank you kindly in advance....Also, I hope I posted this in the right forum, if it is not, is it possible to get it moved there.

Thank you kindly,

Michael
