Avoid that Sinking Feeling feel confident with Boat Survey's.
A boat is a sizable investment. Before you put a considerable amount of money down to purchase a marine vessel, it’s important to make sure the boat is in good condition and has been described and marketed accurately by the seller. At Boat Surveys & Consultants, Its our profession not a part time job as we are qualified and experienced team of marine surveyors in Brisbane.
Tips Regarding Your Vessel Survey in Brisbane
To get the most out of your boat survey, you need to make sure you are hiring the right marine surveyor for the job. Here are a few tips to help you choose a qualified and dependable boat surveyor:
- Look for a surveyor that insurance companies would accept: Beyond pre-purchase inspection, the most popular reason to have a boat survey done is if you are making a marine insurance claim. Insurance companies have specific boat surveyors they trust to do thorough, accurate work, and you can trust those at Boat Surveys, too. At Boat Surveys & Consultants, we are proud to be one of the go-to firms for marine insurance survey in Brisbane.
- Make sure you hire a surveyor with the right capabilities: Not all boat surveying techniques are the same. Inspections can be carried out on older boats with timber hulls with tapping techniques, but the same strategies don’t work with many newer boats. Find a Marine surveyor that knows how to survey multiple types of vessels. Our team at Boat Surveys & Consultants can survey boats with various hull constructions, including timber, fiberglass, aluminum, steel and composite.
- Ask about the inspection routine: A 15-minute survey isn’t going to be worth much in the long run. Surveys should be thorough and include both out-of-water and in-water inspections.
Common Mistakes People Make Regarding Boat Surveyors in Brisbane
When you go to hire a Marine surveyor—whether for a pre-purchase inspection or a boat survey for insurance Brisbane, make sure to avoid these common pitfalls:
- Not surveying new or ‘like new’ boats: Just because a boat is ‘new’ or looks fantastic doesn’t mean there aren’t any issues with it. When buying a boat, it’s always better to be safe than sorry, which means taking the time to hire a surveyor.
- Not getting the detailed report you deserve: When you hire a surveyor, you’re paying for time and attention to detail. Make sure you are getting your money’s worth in the form of a detailed report complete with photographic evidence.
- Not getting an unbiased opinion: If you’re purchasing a boat, the seller is obviously going to tell you what you want to hear and that everything is in good shape. Use the ‘trust but verify’ tactic in this case. enguage your own independante surveyor to get a second opinion from an unbiased source.
Looking out for these mistakes will help you avoid bigger headaches with your boat a week, a month, or a year down the road.
