  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
