Recieved my stamped and official Survey report yesterday
really made me feel even more secure in the purchase.
10 pages of meticulous detail
he left no stone unturned
insurance guy is not going to like it, as its proof a nearly 40 year old boat is 9 out of 10
We need a page to add survey people
Bartnett marine survey up state new york
