Verifying information takes a lot of time, but it's worth it.

Finished an insurance assessment on a sportfish with engine failure. The cause? Chronic fuel contamination from an aging tank. Sent samples to the lab. Data beats guesses every time.

Hurricane prep isn't just about extra dock lines. Check your through-hull fittings. Saw a salvage case last week where a failed seacock sunk a boat at the dock in a storm. A $50 part.

Just surveyed a 45-foot catamaran for a couple dreaming of liveaboard life. Found hull delamination under a fresh coat of paint. The repair quote saved them from a $200k mistake. Survey first, sail later.
