anyone need a full pre-purchase boat hull survey on a fiberglass boat hull for free in greater vancouver area ?

if youre buying a boat and want a free ~4-6 hr survey done on a weekend can you let me know ? completely free anywhere in the greater vancouver area upto abbotsford. i'm picking up mine so i need some practice on fiberglass hulls before then. will be surveying with digital moisture meter (assuming no rain), thermal camera, visual and tap testing. no report but you will get a full video (including thermal video) with commentary on the defects found. boat needs to be on the hard or trailer. ideally the boat should be on sale (craigslist/facebook advert).

This is mighty kind of you! What kind of thermal imaging camera are you using?

seek thermal pro 320x240, -40F° to 626°F, 15Hz.

sadly the window for free boat surveys is now closed lol. i'm doing my final packing and equipment is getting sent over by UPS so i dont even have the survey equipment on hand. but maybe next year. i probably need to check the hull again in 2025 so maybe i can do a couple of practice runs in december 2024.
