Marine/Caterpillar diesel surveyor near Port A?

[SaltNLine]

Anyone know who would be the best surveyor to use for a sportfish with cat diesels in Port A.

Thanks in advance

Call Chris with Land and Sea services out of Lamarque or John with Elite Diesel. They are the best.

I agree with Land and Sea to a certain extent but have Larry do it as you won't get all the drama...LOL!

A boat survey and a CAT engine evaluation is two different things, and neither does each other's job. The first is a certified marine surveyor to do the hull. The second is a certified CAT marine diesel mechanic.

Like others have said, a boat survey and a CAT inspection/evaluation are two different things.

For the hull survey, contact Mike...he is first class! Mike recently surveyed a hull for me. He is VERY thorough and one of the best in the business.

if it has 3208s in it, no need to have them evaluated.... there is a reason the boat is for sale (and probably for cheap, lol) IMHO keep looking

These are 3126's. Are the 3208's no good?

No question about it.

John Bowen at Elite would be the only one that I would have do a mechanical on any diesel engine, no question they are the best.
