Help Needed in DC Area!!!
Anybody know of a good guy to do a leakdown and compression test on a boat with blowers?
SHould I get a surveyor to do this or do it myself? I have never bought a boat before so if I sound like an idiot dont make too much fun! boat is about 30 miles south of DC |
OK, let me first be honest with you, if you have never purchased a boat before you really should reconsider a boat with blowers. You are talking about 575-1100HP motors that can be good or be a nightmare, for a first boat I would say stay with stock motors that any good marine mechanic can inspect.

WILL:party-smiley-004: I know it is good advice but this boat is what I want and I am well prepared for the whole deal. There are some pretty good mechanic's in Toronto that I know. ANybody got any idea on a good surveyor or a guy to do my leakdown and compression testing? |
Where is the boat?
I know of a couple people that can do the check for you, but need to know who is closer in order to set it up with the right person. |
