Washington State Pre-purchase Surveyor Needed

[pescador]

Anybody know a good surveyor in the Anacortes area for a pre-purchase survey? Anyone had a survey done in Washington State in the last couple of years? If so, can you tell me what you paid per foot? The price I’m getting seems far higher in Washington than rates I see on THT down in the southern USA. Like 30% higher. Maybe rates are higher in Washington? I’ve been quoted $35 USD per foot. I see in BC rates are more in the $29 CAD range…..which is vastly cheaper.

Sounds about right, mechanic rates in Canada are $150ish and 150-ish USD in WA, way more expensive than Florida. I used a surveyor in WA who missed hull damage on both bows on a Cat so I can't recommend one. @wdlfbio might know someone and have more recent knowledge of rates?

Aaron Wilson, is the guy I used in 2017, great guy and honest, not sure what he charges now, but I paid 300$ cash , and we actually looked at 2 boats, the next day we did a full survey and he helped me do a mechanical for an extra 200$.1-206-240-5378 was his phone number, he does a lot of work in Everett he told me

Good choice imo, he is brutally honest lol, if he thinks it’s a POS he will tell you,he knows the good and bad of all brands and says what he thinks, he used to own a DE ( not sure if he still has it and did lots of fishing on the northern part of our west coast
