Summary of Points
Before the survey:
• Check your surveyor's credentials and referrals.
• Specify the scope of the survey.
• Prepare the boat and empty all lockers.
• Schedule a time slot that allows for overtime if necessary.
During the survey:
• Be present throughout the entire survey.
• Ask questions and take notes to supplement the report.
• Describe how you use the boat and any concerns you have.
• Provide a snack and drink to help you both maintain your concentration.
Tip: If your surveyor is willing to work on a weekend, you might be able to save money by
arranging to have the last haul-out on a Friday. The boat can remain in slings over the
weekend and be the first back in on Monday morning, keeping your haul-out bill to a min-
imum. However, this only works if the forecast calls for dry, hot weather that will allow the
hull to dry quickly for reliable moisture readings.
