For *insurance* surveys, you want the blind guy that does the survey from the dock. For pre-purchase, you want the guy that wriggles in behind the engine with a light and a mirror. Joe Coquina

He did mine. I wasn't unhappy with the work but since then I've questioned the value of surveys in general. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know. He did a good job but stayed within his scope. I can send you my survey if you want a sample of the work. I don't believe I'm breaking any agreement by sharing it. I'm far from a pro, just a blunderer who's read a lot of Don Casey and Nigel Calder. I own the same moisture meter that those guys use. The notion that you have to be a rocket surgeon to use a moisture meter is a little beyond me. There's a lot an amateur can learn about a boat with one of those before spending $600 on a survey. Sure, you can get false positives, like backing plates registering as moisture .. but you won't get false negatives. If there's moisture, it'll find it.
