Expert Inspections for Offshore and Racing Vessels

At Stem to Stern Marine Surveying, LLC, we specialize in marine surveys on high-performance boats — including offshore race boats, go-fast boats, and performance cruisers. These vessels demand specialized knowledge and precise evaluation due to their advanced construction, powerful propulsion systems, and extreme operating conditions.

Our surveys are designed to give you total confidence in your boat’s integrity, safety, and value — whether you’re buying, selling, or insuring a high-performance vessel.

Why High-Performance Boats Require a Specialized Survey

High-performance boats are engineered for speed, strength, and stability at sea — and the forces they endure are far greater than those of typical recreational craft. That’s why surveys on these boats must go beyond standard inspection checklists.

We focus on the unique stress points and systems found in performance vessels, including:

• Hull & Structural Integrity: Advanced laminates, carbon fiber, Kevlar, and cored hulls are checked for delamination, impact damage, and stress fractures.

• Transom & Stringers: Extreme engine torque can cause structural fatigue; we perform moisture testing and core evaluation to detect hidden weaknesses.

• Engines & Propulsion Systems: Twin or triple high-output inboards or outboards are inspected for mounts, cooling systems, exhaust, and alignment.

• Fuel & Electrical Systems: High-flow fuel delivery and custom wiring setups are tested for safety and reliability at sustained high speeds.

• Helm, Controls & Safety Gear: Throttles, trim tabs, steering systems, and safety harness mounts are inspected to ensure readiness for high-speed use.

A proper high-performance boat survey identifies not just current issues — but potential failures that could occur under load or at speed.
