Most legitimate surveyors will set their prices according to the cost of
doing business in their area. The price may vary according to the size,
style, or age of the boat, and the type of survey required. For example,
a Condition and Value survey on a 1996 40 foot houseboat in Pittsburgh
might cost 20 dollars a foot, or $800. Costs in other areas may vary. Other types of surveys are
done by an hourly rate fee, and some times travel costs are involved
.A good survey will require 6 to 8 hours of time to complete. Call us for a quote on your survey at 412 298
5393. Don't let the price frighten you. Many times the price is saved with
the discovery of expensive problems found in the investigative process.
If another surveyor is rather inexpensive, you need to ask yourself : why
?? Are they professional ? Are they a part timer ? Are they
legitimate ? Did
they get their credentials over the internet or from a" Correspondence
Diploma Mill
"? Will your final
document have an embossed stamp saying "Accredited Marine
Surveyor" on it ? Will the survey stand up to IRS , Federal
court, or insurance scrutiny ? Does he have professional
liability insurance in case he damages your boat. { We are insured
with Lloyds Of London}
I think you would rather deal with a qualified individual,
who has been properly trained.
