Pre-Purchase Boat Inspection - Where around Corvallis, OR?

VWTim · 08-13-2009, 10:18 AM

I'm looking at purchasing a used ~20' inboard jet boat and looking for a reliable place around here to get it inspected. Structure, engine leakdown, etc. I'd perfer it to be local, but will travel to Eugene if needed.

Anyone have any experiences with places around here?

FWIW, I talked w/ Southside Marine in Corvallis, they are booked up 3 weeks (for a quoted 2 hr. job.)

Thanks in advance!

Southside may be worth the wait. They've always done right for me. Maybe it's why they're booked.

Thanks for the info, good to know they can be trusted.

FWIW, I talked w/ Maxxum in Eugene and they're gonna take a look Mon/Tue assuming everything falls into place.

Alison Mazon in Portland is the SAMS testing vice president..
Can't think of a better person to survey a boat if you want to know every detail about it.
