well heres a list from the BoatUS site of surveyors listed...

A-1 Marine Milwaukee WI (800) 809-0906

I used A-1 in Chicago a few years back when i was looking at a 29 fountain.......when i got the survey he missed a few items that lead me to believe he didnt look through the whole boat like i thought they would......like he stated that it didnt have a fire extinguisher....(it did and in plain site).....that there was no radio...(there was but it was inside the cabin).....there was no bathroom....(true but it did have a port-o-potie that wasnt mentioned)......things like that........ and he also missed a few things on the hull that i thought would should have been stated incase something was wrong after the sale...

I cant say if they are bad or good, i'm just letting ya know my experience is all :)

If the boat is close to me i can go crawl around it for ya :)
