Gilera Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Can anyone recommend a boat inspector for a pre-purchase inspection on an old fibreglass trailer boat in Brisbane/Gold Coast area? Who did you use and was it worthwhile? Don't mind spending some cash to get some confidence that I'm not buying a stuffed boat but want to make sure they are trustworthy. Don't know if it's true or not but I recently heard of a case where someone found a great deal on a boat and then felt that an inspector had shafted them by ringing one of his mates who then went and bought the boat prior to the inspection he'd booked.

noelm Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Just a note, how old is this "old fibreglass boat" you're interested in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilera Posted December 15, 2022 Author Share Posted December 15, 2022 (edited) I'm looking at 70's-90's but have decided I want to make sure I get something that has already had the hard work done. Problem is that lots of people says that the boat has had floor/stringers/transom done professionally but then have no photo evidence or receipts etc. Edited December 15, 2022 by Gilera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Don't fall for that sort of stuff, unless you have 100% verifiable receipts and photos, assume nothing was done, or at best, a patch up job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
