Pre-Purchase / Condition and Value / Appraisal This type of marine survey is
the most extensive type available. The marine surveyor performs a thorough inspection of all internal
and external components of the vessel . Pre-Purchase Marine Survey includes engine oil analysis, engine compression,
sea trial, and bottom inspection for no additional charge. The purpose of this survey is to make sure that you are buying
a vessel that is sea worthy, properly valued, and reveals any hidden damages . A detailed report is prepared within
24 hours inclusive of deficiencies, recommendations and fair market value. We utilize an 18 point inspection process, copied
by other Florida marine surveyors and boat surveyors worldwide.

Insurance Survey
Insuring your vessel is the best way to protect your investment! This type of marine inspection serves several
purposes. The first is to insure that your vessel is properly insured for damage or loss. Secondly, it is to satisfy
the insurance company's risk reward ratio. In addition, you and the insurance company have a complete and current valuation
of your vessel. Your marine insurance survey will be valid for three years from date of boat survey.
