Surveyor in North Carolina

[Red_Tag]

Hi Everyone

I am looking for a recommendation for a Marine Surveyor in North Carolina. I'm exporting a Southport 26CC to Australia and would to get a 3rd party look over the boat before it gets shipped.

Much appreciated.
Nigel

Nigel, Where in NC? I know Bob Eldridge in Wilmington area. He does a great job.

[Shin-Dig]

A surveyor who did my boat before I bought it was

Bussman Marine Surveying in Carolina Beach, NC
office 910-452-7400
cell 910-232-1147

It is a very thorough survey

That boat will certainly turn heads down under Congratulations on your purchase

[steveyacht]

OK, Now that I am in the office, his name is Bob Eldridge

Wilmington, NC
910-452-2805 - Office
910-232-8356 - Cell

He has a very good reputation in the marine community in the eastern NC and SC area where I am. Has done more than a few surveys for myself and other brokers in this area.

[Special-K]

I agree with Bob Eldridge. He serveyed one of my boats and I actually bought his old Pursuit. Good guy and very honest.

I have asked Bob Eldridge to have a look by the end of this week. I'll let you know what he said.

Bob said "My opinion is overall vessel rating is ... Excellent".

He uses the BUC Research Marine Grading system which defines "Excellent (Bristol) Condition is a vessel that is maintained in mint or bristol fashion - usually better than factory new - loaded with extras - a rarity."

Which I have to say pretty well wraps up the decision for me ... Go the Southport 26CC!

Bob was very professional - I can also thoroughly recommend him.

He has done all my surveys for me. A good and professional job.
