Cary went above and beyond. Doesn’t everyone have that littl, diamond in the rough, mom and pop, restaurant or store or shop that is the best in the world but wildly underrated and not well known. That’s this boat shop. Amazing turn around time, amazing attention to detail, under priced, I can’t say enough great things ! Do yourself a favor and stop your search here.

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm mobile and survey vessels across Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Tennessee. I come to your boat wherever it sits, whether that's a marina, dry storage, or your driveway.
No. I focus solely on marine surveying and appraisals now. That keeps my inspections independent and unbiased, with no incentive to sell you repair work.
A full inspection of the hull, structure, systems, engines, and safety gear, plus a fair-market value, delivered as a detailed written report with photos you can use for negotiation, insurance, and financing.
A survey assesses the vessel's condition and safety. An appraisal establishes fair-market value for insurance, financing, donation, estate, or sale. I provide both.
Yes. Insurers and lenders often require a current condition survey, and I provide the documented report formatted for exactly what they need.
Most surveys take a few hours depending on the size and type of vessel. You'll receive a clear, documented report shortly after, typically within a couple of days.
Cost depends on the vessel's size, type, and the survey needed. Call (573) 979-3032 with the details and I'll give you a straight quote.
No. This is a mobile service with no shop drop-off. I come to your vessel's current location.

Serving Missouri
Missouri boating splits between big Ozark reservoirs and the rivers. Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock Lake hold large fleets of cruisers, pontoons and ski boats that sit in covered slips for most of the year, while the southeast corner of the state, around Scott City and Cape Girardeau, sits on the Mississippi River. Hot, humid summers and freezing winters mean boats here go through repeated cycles of heavy use, long layups and winterization. Many boats live on trailers or in dry storage between seasons, so a survey often happens on land rather than in the water. Spring and fall are busy times for buying and selling, and a boat that changes owners may move between a lake, a river and a storage building in a single year.

Why Missouri customers need this work
Boats that spend summers in a wet slip and winters in storage see their own kind of wear. Long periods in the water put stress on through-hull fittings, bottom paint and underwater gear, while freeze cycles can crack blocks and manifolds on engines that were not winterized well. River boats deal with current, debris and shifting water levels that are hard on lower units and hulls. A survey looks for those patterns before a sale, an insurance renewal or a loan closes.

Pre-purchase surveys, condition and insurance surveys, appraisals and damage surveys are all done at the boat's location, whether that is a slip on a big reservoir, a dry storage rack or a trailer in your driveway. You get an independent inspection and a documented report built for buyers, insurers and lenders.
Missouri customers choose us because we treat every project like it's our own — no upselling, no surprises, just straightforward work that gets the job done right.
Whether you live in Missouri or just need a reliable team nearby, we're a short drive from Scott City and happy to walk you through every recommendation before any work begins.
This is a mobile service run out of Scott City, so there is no shop and no drop-off. I travel to the boat, inspect the hull, structure, systems, engines and safety gear, and deliver a written report with photos. I do surveys and appraisals only, with no repair work to sell, which keeps the findings independent. The phone is (573) 979-3032. Call with the boat's make, length and location and I will tell you what kind of survey fits and what it will take.
