Perhaps the most common of all surveys, but maybe the most important. A pre-purchase survey is the most comprehensive of all reports.
Usually, this type of survey is performed to satisfy an insurance company’s request for a survey prior to renewing your hull policy.
Gaining popularity, often times an owner will request this survey in order to better prepare the vessel for sale.
If you have an abandoned boat on your property, the State of Ohio recently made it easier for you to get title to the boat.
I provide hourly consulting for customers who may just need some questions answered about a boat or research fair market values. I can meet with you at your boat OR at a boat that you are thinking about purchasing.
Travel costs and your time are valuable. Let me do some legwork for you. I can take digital images and videos to offer you a virtual tour of a vessel you are interested in. Let me be your agent to supervise the progression of a repair or a re-fit project. I can be “Your Eyes” for a variety of situations.
Bryan did a great job with our pre purchase survey. Very responsive via emails, good communication, and he was very thorough on survey day. Had the report within a few business days of the survey. Would definitely use Bryan again.

Dr Keith LewisIf I could give more stars I would! I found Bryan Shrock Marine Surveying when I needed a pre-purchase survey for a boat in the Port Clinton, OH area. Time was short so I made lots of calls. Bryan was the first to get back with me and he made room in his busy schedule to survey the boat. Right from the start he impressed me with his clear, concise communication and follow through. This potential purchase was a logistical challenge as I was 200 miles away and I hadn't even seen the boat in person. I had lots of apprehension about even considering a boat that far away but this particular Pursuit Denali looked very good from the pictures so I decided to roll the dice and get it surveyed. I could tell that Bryan was going to do a thorough survey just by talking with him but even the seller commented on the level of detail and the extensive attention that was placed on the hull structure and other systems. After he completed the survey he called me with a general summary of the good and the not so good including a rough valuation so that I could proceed with the purchase negotiations. He then followed that up with a very detailed 52 page report. I ended up buying the boat and I could not have done it without Bryan Shrock Marine Surveying. His professional experience in the marine industry put to rest my anxiety about this long distance purchase. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the work that Bryan did. He exceeded my expectations even after the work was done and the report was delivered. I am very happy and I have to thank Bryan for helping me make this purchase possible.
E WVery professional, thorough, and easy to talk to. He even offered that if we had any questions in the future just give him a call. He was recommended by highly respected individuals in U.S.Power Squadron, and did not disappoint. If we ever buy another boat, we will call Bryan to survey it.

Perhaps the most common of all surveys, but maybe the most important. A pre-purchase survey is the most comprehensive of all reports. I will address and inspect all systems and areas of a vessel that are accessible to me. I will comment on structural, mechanical, safety, appearance, amenities and market value. You will want this survey to include an out-of-water inspection and often times, I will ride along with you on a sea trial. The PDF document I produce will allow you to make informed decisions about whether to purchase, selling price, financing and insurance.
Condition & Value SurveyUsually, this type of survey is performed to satisfy an insurance company’s request for a survey prior to renewing your hull policy. This survey focuses on safety, structural, some mechanical and overall seaworthiness. It is not as comprehensive as a pre-purchase survey. It may or may not require an out-of-water inspection, depending on your insurance company’s wishes.
Pre-Sale SurveyGaining popularity, often times an owner will request this survey in order to better prepare the vessel for sale. It can range from an hour or two of consulting to a comprehensive inspection similar to a pre-purchase survey.
Abandoned Boat Survey If you have an abandoned boat on your property, the State of Ohio recently made it easier for you to get title to the boat. One of the conditions is that the boat be surveyed to determine that it’s worth less than $10,000. I can provide you with an affordable inspection and document to fulfil that condition.
