All

I am looking to buy a boat in Palmdale, CA but I am in Texas. Before I make a trip out there or transfer any funds, I want to make sure the boat is solid.

I truly don't expect any issuesand would be tickled if the boat is exactly as the owner described but I don't want to gamble on an expediture of this magnitude.

So can someone recommend a qualified marine surveyor to check this boat out for me. It is from a private party and not a dealer.

Thanks

Eliminator Fundeck??

I used shad burke to check out my spectre in La, he took a ton of pics and a video of the motors running. Thanks again Shad , I am very happy with it. jay.

Yep that's the one - do you know the boat?

Well the deal ended up falling through. The guy expected me to come out and "preview" the boat but not put it in the water. He said I could come back out (mind you I live in Texas and he knew that) and do a sea trial at a later date AFTER I left him a $5k deposit from my first visit.

Well that's a crock of BS - I am not spending that kind of money on a 2006 boat with the 525 EFI that has been sitting for 2 1/2 years and not drive it. Nor am I making 2 trips from Texas to Cali to do something which could be done in one.

So I think some poor sap is going to buy it from Phoenix and use it on Havasu. Good luck with that!
