Cursory Pre-Purchase or Pre-Survey evaluation of a boat you are considering purchasing or before you take it to a full-blown survey, haul and launch, sea-trial or expensive, long-distance trip to inspect the boat.
I will provide an oral review of general condition. Cleanliness, Equipment etc. Fee varies dependent on location of boat, size and complexity, normally between $125 and $200.
