In many cases, surveyors encounter total hostility from the boat owner and if the broker conspires with him, God help you. I was at Manly and had to inspect a beautiful timber Halvorsen Cruiser. The owner, a German was glaring at me and wouldn't even return my greeting. The broker, someone I hadn't met before, clearly was the spokesman for them.

During the several days we were there I had the opportunity to observe this friend of mine, the one who owned it all. When we got to Lake Powell the pearson media console wouldn't start.

Don McFarlin of Gordonville was the top local fisherman and finished in 4th place with a three day total of 15 bass weighing 33 pounds 11 ounces.

The city is located on the banks of the River Great Ouse in an area known as The Fens. It was a busy inland port up until the eighteenth century at which time the area was drained. The river still draws many people; there is a boating area with a large marina. The famous University of Cambridge rowing team retains a boathouse on the river and often uses it to train for their prestigious race against the University of Oxford.

If you're going to buy a boat from a private seller then take your time to make your mind up. Inspect the boat carefully; look for scratches, cracks, dents and other damage. Test the cables and the steering. You could even consider hiring a professional boat surveyor to carry out a complete certified inspection. It might seem costly at the time but it can give you the peace of mind of knowing you got a great deal, and haven't been sold down the Suwannee.
