Boat Inspection Services

Pre-Purchase Inspection

Planning to buy a boat in Milwaukee or nearby? A pre-purchase inspection helps you review its visible condition before making a decision. The inspection can cover key systems, components, and signs of wear, with findings organized so you can discuss questions with the seller or a marine mechanic. Scope depends on the boat and access.

Seller’s Condition Review

Before listing your boat, a condition review can help you identify visible issues and maintenance items that may need attention. Findings give you a more informed starting point for preparing the boat and answering buyer questions. The review focuses on accessible areas and components; it does not guarantee a sale or replace repairs by a qualified marine technician.

Systems Inspection

A systems inspection focuses on accessible onboard equipment and components, such as electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems where appropriate. The goal is to note apparent condition and concerns that may warrant further evaluation. Inspection scope varies by vessel, system access, and operating conditions. Any testing or specialist assessment should be confirmed when arranging the inspection.

Sea Trial Assessment

A sea trial can provide useful information about how a boat operates under way. When available and safely arranged, observations may include starting, controls, handling, and system behavior during the trial. Results depend on water and weather conditions, vessel readiness, and access. A sea trial is not a substitute for a full inspection or specialist testing.
