I used Gert Tiel...not much detail but I knew Alera was my boat when I saw it and just needed something for the valuation re insurance. Besides, who better to survey a C&C?

I could survey a MK I at least better than most professionals IMHO just because I have fixed everything that breaks twice now!

He did mine. I wasn't unhappy with the work but since then I've questioned the value of surveys in general. He didn't tell me anything I didn't know. He did a good job but stayed within his scope. I can send you my survey if you want a sample of the work. I don't believe I'm breaking any agreement by sharing it.

I'm far from a pro, just a blunderer who's read a lot of Don Casey and Nigel Calder. I own the same moisture meter that those guys use. The notion that you have to be a rocket surgeon to use a moisture meter is a little beyond me. There's a lot an amateur can learn about a boat with one of those before spending $600 on a survey. Sure, you can get false positives, like backing plates registering as moisture .. but you won't get false negatives. If there's moisture, it'll find it.

I would second Peter , and while I agree with Steve?s ?He didn?t tell me anything I didn?t know? (I?m guessing in reference to an insurance survey after owning the boat for a period of time) , when it comes to the initial purchase , I?d prefer to go with the ?Pro? and attend if possible.

IMHO
