Surveyor recommendation for Long Island

[rhunwicks]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a surveyor who can do a pre-purchase survey of a 36' cruising catamaran in Long Island or environs.


Any recommendations much appreciated.

As a retired surveyor, the only one I would hire in that area is ...

I have recent experience with Jerry Zingale surveying a catamaran and it was a bad experience. PM me if you would like anything further.

Dave surveyed a boat for me in Huntington last year.

Monohull, not a cat and I don't know if he is experienced with cats (or if it really matters).

Anyway, he did a good thorough job. Surveying is not cheap in the NYC area, but he provided good value. I ended up walking away from the deal. The boat was not terrible, but he found some things I missed that caused me to reconsider.

I've used Dave too. I received several recommendations from more experienced boaters when I was searching for a surveyor.
I was very satisfied.

Thanks all for the recommendations.
