Boat & Marine Inspection

A wet transom or a leaking lower unit sinks a deal. We sound the hull, pressure-test the gearcase, and compression-check the power before you pay.

Boats hide their two biggest expenses below the gelcoat: a moisture-soaked hull or transom, and a tired powertrain. We moisture-map the structure, sound the laminate, compression-test the engine, and pressure-test the lower unit — and can run a sea trial — so you don't buy someone else's water damage.

What we inspect
  • Moisture mapping of hull, transom, deck, and stringers
  • Percussion sounding for delamination and voids
  • Engine compression / leak-down (gas) and diagnostics
  • Lower unit / outdrive pressure & vacuum test
  • Corrosion: anodes, bonding system, and galvanic check
  • Fuel system, tanks, and fuel quality
  • Bilge, pumps, through-hulls, and seacocks
  • Steering, controls, and electrical/electronics
  • Trailer running gear (if included)
  • Optional on-water sea trial
