As most of us know, they are alot more "bad" experiences than "good" experiences in boating dealing with manufacturers to surveyors. I have had 2 excellent experiences with this surveyor.

I've had 2 surveys done by Franky Pettolina and he is very detailed and professional. You get a detailed 20 page survey with pictures and everything. He is extremely knowledgeable and great to work with. I even got a X-mas card from him last year

Cool info. Does he do any motor/drive checks?

Thanks for the info Semper Fi,

I will keep it for reference. Good to have a local guy to recomend. By the way, I will be trying the bravo drive out this weekend if I can get the IMCO endcap in in time.

Thanks

I know he reccommends a mechanic to check out the engines. I don't know about the drives......he does visually inspect them. He is excellent to deal with.

SF,
Well, did you buy a boat out of these 2 surveys?
Dean

The surveyor did both surveys for both Powerplays that I bought. The first one was 2 yrs ago.

G,
No, I mean a new boat to replace the PP you just sold. I thought I read you were real close to buying another 33PP?
Dean

Used Franky on several occassions Couldn't of been happier

Dean,
I misunderstood you. I am buying another PP. The deal is almost done. The port engine is down.....needed $2,500 of repair and almost done. This is the boat
