'No chalk' hull survey

[WJM]

I have a full hull survey done EVERY time my boat comes out of the water. Yes, it tells me the steel thickness. But of far more value to me is knowing that a person who looks at boat hulls all day long has cast his eye up and down the whole boat. Experienced professionals see things that others don't.

Mine cost £250. Forget how long it took, around an hour I think, freshish paint on the hull, no scraping (obviously as it's U/S) and no chalk marks.

 

If you mean "because it is ultrasound you don't need to clean the blacking off", then I don't think that's right without further qualification.

 

With the equipment many of the surveyors are still using, you almost certainly do.

Now, if all he'd done was turn up and cover the hull with indecipherable chalk markings, we'd never have had this thread! Go figure...

Very true.
