Surveyor Needed for Lower Chesapeake Bay

[George Shaunfield]

Can someone recommend a good sailboat surveyor for the lower Chesapeake Bay area (VA specifically)?
Several searches of the message board did not turn up any useful leads other than the list on BoatUS site.

Bill Coker with Entre Nous Marine Services did my survey and he has a reputation for being the most picky surveyor around the Tidewater area. He really went over the boat and did inspect everything. He also took 143 digital pictures of the boat, inside and out. Very detailed. His phone number is 833-5900.

I was very happy with work done By CAPT Frank K Lanier. (757) 287- 3770. www.captfklanier.com

Frank is an active duty Coast Guard CAPT, who lives in the Norfolk VA area and is available pretty much anywhere in SE VA/NE NC

He is a member of The Society Of Accredited Marine Surveyors, which has a good website if you are looking for a surveyor.

You may want to contact Peter Schacht in Urbanna. He performed the survey on our CD36 several years ago and did a thorough and professional job. I believe he's still active in Urbanna on the Rappahannock River. Good luck with your prospective purchase.

Monday I have appointment to check out a CD36 for possible purchase. Living in Florida it is hard to get references on good surveyors in Maryland. After spending a lot of time on the computer I came up with three possible surveyors: Previte Marine Survey; Hartoft Marine Survey; Wagner Marine Survey. Does anyone have any experience or opinion on this short list or can you recommend someone else?
Thank you for your input, Philip M.
