Pre-Purchase Marine Survey - An extensive vessel inspection when considering the purchase of any new or pre-owned boat or yacht regardless of its age, condition, or reputation. The survey will reflect the appearance and functionality of the vessel. The survey includes: Hull structural integrity, electrical components and wiring, the drive system, fuel transfer system, engine or other propulsion modules, electronic and navigation equipment, on board support systems, and additional safety equipment. The evidence of previous maintenance, or lack of, is also noted in the survey. An out of water bottom inspection and an operational sea trial should be included and is included with the pricing. This survey is concluded with an overall condition rating and a fair market value of the vessel.

Video Presentation - This examination is offered to save the prospective buyer the time and expense of visiting the vessel personally. A video of the entire boat will be recorded and converted to a DVD or MPEG format and shipped, emailed or posted online as requested. This method can be very useful in determining if further interest in a particular vessel is desired.

Oil Sample Analysis - This test includes a spectroscopic examination of the oil to determine the levels of metals, additives, and possibly coolant. The test will also measure viscosity and the percentage of solids in the oil. The test report will include possible causes of any irregularities. Other engine fluid analysis tests for diesel, gasoline, and coolant are also available. Contact us for special pricing of those services.
• $50.00 per engine.
Ultrasonic Thickness Testing - This test is performed by a non destructive ultrasonic audio pulse-echo device that measures the thickness of several different materials that include: Steel, aluminum, poly resin plastics, and various kinds of poly methyl plastics. This test is used to determine corrosion, wear, or delamination of a hull where it can not be seen. This test is recommended when purchasing steel or aluminum hull vessels, fiberglass vessels more than ten years old, or if corrosion or delamination is suspected.
• $8.00 per measurement (or shot).
Carbon Monoxide Air Analysis - This test measures the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in parts per million (ppm) from 0 - 1,000 that may exist in the air in a compartment on board a vessel. The test is performed by a digital electromechanical gas specific sensing device and is used to scan and detect traces of this deadly gas in boats, yachts or commercial vessels. This test is commonly conducted for suspected elevations in CO gas in vessel accommodation spaces and for any suspected leaks in repaired or replaced raw water exhaust or propane gas systems.
