Looking for a trustworthy surveyor, boat is about 40 miles NW of Chicago. Never did this before, afraid of getting one that's in Kahoots with the dealer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Peter.

Hope your not looking at the 357 Formula up there. If so take a good mechanic also.

Thanks for the heads up Chris. That's not the boat. Googled and called three surveyors in the area, can't even get a call back. Think I'll take a crash course on how to survey, and tell them to f themselves.

I used this company several years ago. Reasonable and thorough.

Thank you Mr. Holy Smokes. Appreciate you passing this on. Kind of nervous using a surveyor who might be more interested in looking after the seller than the buyer. Thanks again Peter.
