Specialized Inspection Services for Center Console Vessels

At Stem to Stern Marine Surveying, LLC, we focus on marine surveys on center console boats, delivering expert assessments tailored to this rapidly-growing class of vessel.

Why Center Console Boats Demand Specialized Surveying

Center consoles are designed for performance, versatility and open-deck use. That means their hulls, outboard motor systems, wiring, open deck structure and helm stations are subject to unique stresses and wear. A survey for a center console must go beyond generic boat inspection—it must address the distinct features and risks found in these boats. For example:

• Structural checks around the console area, deck fittings, hull-to-deck join and high-speed running surfaces.

• Thorough inspection of outboard engine mounts, outriggers, rigging, electrical wiring exposed to the elements and corrosion-sensitive systems.

• Trailers will be visually inspected only with all findings reported.

By specializing in marine surveys on center console boats, we ensure no corner is overlooked—and we provide the documentation and insight you need to confidently buy, sell or insure your vessel.
