Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

Please give me a credible surveyor in the Chester, Maryland area. I do know one guy, but he is too high in price.

Thanks :D

What is too high in price? With surveys...and many other things...you usually get what you pay for! Don't be a Cheapazz. :rolleyes:

I recommend a guy named Ron Petrick, do a search on him here for his #. He charges $18/foot.

Expensive is $550.00 this doesn't include anything to do with the motors! Last time the guy charged me $400.00, without checking out the motors.

I used a company called:

Randy Ren
Marine Forensic Technicians
Annapolis, MD 21401
(410) 280-6166

...back in 2001. HP boats were not really his fortay back then, not sure about now; and he did nothing with the engine. I had www.offshore-performance.com run a leak down and compression test at the time of survey and paid for the labor separately. That's about all the info I can share. He did not have a moisture meter.

Personally, I would not use them again as I can assess everything he did on my own.

Thanks for the info. I just think 18' per foot ($594.00) is ALOT of money for 4 hrs of work, especially when you have to pay another $300.00+ for a mech to checkout the motors

JOHN PEPE Great guy knows his sh*t works the eastern shore saw him the other day at bay bridge

410-226- 0208

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

Joe (GOODT) would be a great person to go over the mechanicals too; and he is mobile.

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

MY APOLOGIES TO GOODT-- He was not the guy that I was talking about. Jay, a former mechanic at OP that now has his own shop IS the guy.

Sorry Joe!

Did they run good for ya????

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

Blew a motor after 10 hrs. That I can't blame on him. I am a customer service guy, if I don't get it, you don't get my business.

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

anyone else got a mechanic to reccomend?

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

How much does Ed Cozzi charge per hour?
Fly him up to do it. No one better.
If you're buying $90-100k boat and you really feel this may be the one... don't skimp. Maybe even flyout to meet him.

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

I can highly recommend John Smith aka Pwrbt33 here on OSO. He can be reached at the Service extension at www.offshore-performance.com . (website appears to be down ATT) 1-410-827-0200. John posts somewhat frequently and has a wealth of HP experience.

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

I talked to Ed Cozzi. He seems like one of the best. I think that will costs too much to fly him there. I am trying to keep costs down though, I am getting married in September--$$$$$$$$ :eek:

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

Sydwayz recommendation is good, John at Offshore Perf is a good guy. Art Lilly is someone else I would try.

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
What date in sept?
The 8th will be my 10yr anniversary!!! :eek:

BTW... Southwest Air from FT Laud to BWI towards the end of this month is $200RT w/ an overnight stay. $250RT same day.

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

GOODT (Joe), was NOT the guy I was talking about. My apologies to GOODT :D

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

accepted,

Thank you
Joe :drink:

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

Gerard, use Ed Cozzi, he is simply the best

Re: Need a surveyor in the Maryland area
 

Jeff,
What I do know is that you will get the call to bring the boat home for me :D
