Looking for recommedation for surveyor in (or near) San Diego

We have had our offer accepted on a 2010 Leopard 46 catamaran. Now we need to schedule the survey. The boat is currently in Newport Beach but the seller has suggested moving it to San Diego (where we live) to do the haul-out and survey.

Can anyone recommend a surveyor in the San Diego or Los Angeles area?

Thanks

Kells Christian is probably the best. I've used him twice and his name came up by someone else just yesterday as being good.

Just spoke with Kells... The conversation was exactly I expected from highly professional and demanded surveyor - right on the subject, reasonable time limitation for the conversation. Definitely contract him when I make offer.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I did use Kells Christian and was very happy with his work. I would recommend him without any reservation.

We bought the boat, and now, 7 months later, we have put lots of $ into the boat, but not due to surprises or things missed at survey. She is 10 years old and was not setup for live-aboard or long passages.
