Talk to Jerry at Grand Sport and tell him you want a surveyor with a good background on mechanical and hi performance boats. Jerry is a pretty straight guy and uses a couple of different surveyors.

I used a guy named Mel Surdel when I bought my Sonic from GSC. I felt like he did a pretty good job. I didn’t find any surprises with that boat.

I would highly second Mel Surdel. I've used him independent of GSC, and he does work with GSC also. He knows performance boats well and even does alot of work with Formula direct.

I got Mel's name in the past, he is supposed to be very reputable. I believe Jerry uses him as well.
