I used a certified surveyor, Chip Gardes, who I found on the web. (http://www.marinesurvey.org/) to survey my 78 M17 He was GREAT. Charged $150 and did a through job, identifying several items I never would have found. Got a full report with pictures. Also useful for insurance purposes. IMHO, the surveyor is the BUYER's rep and is invaluable. cheers- Shawn Boles Grey Mist (M17 #276 1978) -----Original Message----- From: Irv Kooris [mailto:kooris@rcn.com] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 6:40 PM To: Montgomery_Boats Subject: M_Boats: Surveying M17 What is the general opinion of getting a 1982 M17 surveyed that appears to be in great condition this is Eugene Lodorini's boat and any recommendations for surveyor in CT.
