VerifiedHello, welcome, my name is Jason, whom do I have the pleasure of speaking with? I have been in the marine industry for 25+ years have been a certified marine technician since 2006 and I will be happy to help you.
Please note that I am on east coast time and I do come and go throughout the day from roughly 6 AM to 6 PM EST.
You will get an automated phone call pop up from the website, this is sent to everybody automatically, and not sent by me personally. Please ignore this for now.
I am sorry to hear you are having these problems with your boat. I know that can be frustrating. Hopefully, we can get you back on the water quickly.
Your question was - I need to inspect a boat I am buying. It is in the Miami warehouse. It is inventory # 749728. I want to inspect the boat tomorrow or Wednesday?
Answer - I would be happy to help you with that. If you are looking to have a boat inspection done you would want to get in touch with the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors, or SAMS for short. SAMS has professional surveyors all over the country that can both inspect, as well as write you survey reports that would be accepted by your insurance company for insurance purposes. If you click this link, this will bring you to SAMS website, where you can find surveyors in the Miami area - https://www.marinesurvey.org/
If any part of my answer is confusing, incomplete, or you need more detail on the issue. Please reply and let me know. I am not done until you are happy. If I have saved you considerable money or a trip to the dealer. Please consider leaving me a bonus tip for my efforts. You will be brought to the tipping screen after you select a rating for my service.
Thanks for letting me assist you,
Jason
