Why choose M.E. to perform your survey?

My life long interest in boats has propelled me into a career as a marine surveyor. My interest in boats, curiosity, and level of attention to detail have become recognizable qualities in my work. My goal is to be the one person that you know you can turn to when you have a question about a boat, boating, or you just don’t know who else to ask.

Attention to Detail: As an accountant, I.T. Manager, and medium sized business manager, success is in the details.

Response Time: Scheduling the survey as soon as available, and notification if any cancellations.

Turn Around Time: With the use of up to date technology, I am completely paperless and able to turn around the Report of Marine Survey in an average of one business day after the completion of the inspection.

Rates and adjustments: Standard rates are per linear foot based on model length. I do offer a per hour rate if at anytime, during the inspection, you decide to not require the written report. This way you aren’t paying for something you don’t plan or need to use.

Travel: Not all surveyors are equal. Finding one surveyor, whom you trust, and who is willing to travel to the boat is important.

I am a 100GT Captain with more than 35 years in the marine industry as a professional captain, marine technician, rigger, salesman, and more I have seen just about anything and everything in the marine industry you can think of.

Working for dealerships during much of my career, I was responsible for inspecting many of the trade-ins taken in for resale. It was my job to review boats before the dealerships agreed to make a deal, and then inspect the boats for necessary repairs or improvements once a boat was traded in.

I also worked as a professional marine mechanic for most of my marine career and hold a folder full of marine industry certifications including Mercruiser Master Technician.

My extensive marine education and experience cover structural, electrical, plumbing, drivetrain, electronics, and any other system or accessory onboard.

If you are interested in purchasing a boat that’s currently in or near West Michigan but you do not live in the area, I can be retained as your representative to inspect the boat and verify it’s been accurately advertised by the seller.

Once you are satisfied that the vessel is one you wish to purchase, I can also be retained to perform a complete marine Pre-purchase Survey if you wish.

I also provide Captain's service, delivery or relocation services, and boating lessons to be boaters or those who have moved up to a bigger boat. I love to teach people to drive and be more confident and safe on the water.
