Bob, I used these two surveyors for an Eastbay 38 I wanted to buy, and I'm convinced you'll never find better yacht surveyors in South Florida. They're so good that getting on their schedules is often tough, but they are well worth the wait. Not inexpensive either but well worth the money! Hull surveyor: Jonathan "Jon" Howe mobile: 954-557-7563 office: 954-584-5819 nautserv@aol.com Caterpillar engine surveyor: Tim Caruso Marine Diesel Analysts Inc. mobile: 772-285-6770 timcat10@gmail.com or tim@catenginesurveyor.com www.catenginesurveyor.com Jon is has been a full-time marine surveyor for more than 25 years. He has vast experience with yachts of all kinds and he's extremely thorough, finds all faults that are findable without destructive testing, and he's very good about explaining issues to both buyer and seller--he does so in a calm, deliberate and cooperative manner. Based on Tim's engine survey findings, I turned the boat down. He saved me many nightmares! He was one of the designers of the Cat 3208 years ago when he worked for Caterpillar, but he's been on his own at a Cat specialty surveyor for many years. I've used many surveyors over the years but none better. Both Jon and Tim were an absolute pleasure to work with!
