Wichmann Surveys

At NorCal Surveys we believe the marine survey is an unbiased,
non-prejudiced, professional opinion of the vessel which allows the buyer, seller,
lender, underwriter, and adjuster to make a well-informed decision when making a
new or used boat purchase. The survey will advise the vessel purchaser of the
fair market value and replacement value.

The marine survey advises the buyer of current or potential problems
and provides a complete inventory, including serial and model numbers. If the vessel
is used the professional marine surveyor will have completed research on the
poduction of the vessel and know of any reported problems before conducting the
survey.

If the vessel is new the professional surveyor will know the most current standards,
possibly finding any shortcomings or oversights by the manufacturer, and advise the
buyer, broker or sales representative of current standards and make
recommendations to correct any deficiencies.

At NorCal Surveys we encourage the buyer, seller, broker, lender or underwriter to be
present during the survey. We promise you will find the experience valuable. We will
make every effort to answer the customers questions. However, our first priority will
be to concentr ate on the inspection of the vessel. When the field survey is completed
those present can expect a brief verbal report on the findings. Approximately 5
working days later the customer requesting and paying for the survey should receive
the written reports.
