Hi,
I am making good progress on my boat research, being away for business for the next 10 days I would like to start to think to which surveyor I will use. Any recommendations on surveyors in the Marina Del Rey / Long Beach area who know well the Catalina 36? With some of their survey example if you have, it would be great too :)
The first purpose of the survey for me is to get as much information as possible on the status of the boat and know what I should take care of in the next few years of ownership. So I expect a good survey, but most important a great report.
Thanks!

I've used Ross twice and would use him again. His usual beat is Santa Barbra and Ventura Cos. Don't know if he gets down to MDR, Pedro, or L.B. Couldn't hurt to call him. I wouldn't gripe if he wanted to be on the clock for travel time, which could be as much as 2 hours considering typical PCH, the 101 or the 405 conditions.

I too have used Ross. But he's based in Oxnard, at least last I had contact with him in 2012.

A local Long Beach area surveyor recommended to me by a personal friend and manager of the local West Marine is Rick Gorman 714-746-7380 He also is a member of the Long Beach YC. I have scheduled to have my boat surveyed next month for insurance renewal reasons.
