Last year, 2023 I assisted a client in the attempted purchase of a 1990 Nova 42 Sundeck in La Conner, WA
We chose Edwards Marine Survey in Edmonds, WA 98020, Phone (206) 890-5777.
Not only does Ed do a very complete hull inspection, he does the mechanical (engines, oil samples & generators) also. Ed showed a great deal of knowledge even identifying parts that were only installed on the motors (Cummins 6BTA-5.9-M2) for less than a year by the manufacturer before they made design changes. He took his time and was respectful of the vessel, the buyer and seller.
As a broker in Southen California for over 20 years and a veteran of many surveys, I would go as far as to say I would fly Ed down to Orange county for a survey. A true pro and well worth hiring.
