I am new to boating and am in need of a mechanical and hull surveyor.

I was contemplating trying to survey the boat myself (Im sure this thread will start on fire after that comment is read. If I did so, is there a checklist I could use as reference? My boat is a 1986 Sea Ray 30Ft weekender.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
What is the purpose of this survey? If it is for insurance or financing purposes, then neither the insurance company or finance company will accept anything that you submit sufficient as a survey.

You should ask around for names of a reputable surveyor in your area, and/or you should contact a NAMS or SAMS surveyor to assist you.
 
Thank you for the repy!

The purpose of the survy is just to get an idea of how much work we need to put into the boat as far as repairs (engine, electrical and or hull). My insurance compnay and financial institition did not request a survey.

I was looking around on this site for a checklist of things to insect for when buying a boat. (In relation to hull, engine and electrical.)

I couldnt really find an extensive list. Does anyone know of a good resource?
