At Stem to Stern Marine Surveying, we inspect a wide variety of vessels. The boat types listed below are some of the most common boats we survey, but they are not the only ones. If your vessel isn’t listed here, we likely still work on it—just reach out and ask.

Whether you need a pre-purchase survey, condition & value (C&V) report, insurance renewal, or damage assessment, our inspections are thorough, unbiased, and tailored to the specific type of vessel.

Boat Types We Survey

Center Console Boats

Built for versatility and fishability, center consoles demand close attention to hull condition, transom integrity, fuel systems, and electrical upgrades. We document modifications and accessories (T-tops, livewells, electronics) that affect value and safety.

Motor Yachts

From systems-heavy cruisers to liveaboard yachts, we evaluate structure, propulsion, gensets, HVAC, tankage, and onboard systems. We also review service records and refits that impact market value.

Sport Fisherman Boats

Purpose-built for offshore runs, these boats are worked hard. We focus on hull/deck bond, stringers, towers, outriggers, fuel delivery, and safety gear suitable for bluewater use.

Bowriders

Popular day boats need careful checks of seating bases, deck cores, moisture intrusion, trailers, and family-use safety equipment. We verify hours, options, and condition to protect your budget.

Dual Console Boats

These multi-purpose layouts blend family comfort with fishability. Our survey covers convertible seating hardware, windshield structures, livewells, and helm electronics integration.

High-Performance Boats

Speed amplifies risk. We inspect high-load components—laminate schedule, transom and drive mounts, steering systems, fuel delivery, and engine performance—plus safety setups rated for sustained high speeds.
