[Rhodes22-list] Lou's boat and surveyors

[ed kroposki]

Lou,

You have a noted author and New York City resident within calling range.
Pick up your phone and call Bill Effros, a member of this list.  Listen to
his advice.

You might try some or all of the following internet sites:

How is this for a start.  Bye the way (BTW), you have not provided us with
the year and price.  How do you expect us to give good and valid advice
without all the details?  Are you afraid that the Great White Shark will
swoop in and beat you to the deal?

  Much thanks I will look for the book today and be very careful.

  How does one find a boat surveyor?
  Although the owner is basically giving this boat away,  I understand I 
need to know what expenses i will incur to bring it up to standards 
that I will feel safe and good about.    That said, I know up front 
this is a 'project boat'  and would expect to have to invest serious 
cash to overhaul it.

  any one have leads on surveyors in the NYC metro area??

  Thanks
  Lou
