A well conducted survey can provide excellent informationon a vessel's condition, however they are not guarantees. The surveyor reports the condition in accessible areas only as it existed at the time of inspection. Why should you have the vessel surveyed ? The buyer needsto know her condition and approximate fair market value. Most insurance companies and banks will require a currentsurvey on older vessels in order to underwrite and/or finance the vessel. Finally, the most important reason to survey your vessel is for the safety of your crew and guests. My allegiance is to my client. I will only accept assignments that I expect to be able to complete with professional competence and in an ethical manner. Your survey is confidential and only you, the client, will be informed of the results. I will refuse any assignment that would create a conflict of interest.
