Marine Surveyors & Insurance

[Grady300]

I have been asked about who did the survey on my Kodiak. I had to have this done at the request of my insurance company as I was insuring for a declared value of $225K. Just know you should have your boat as compete as possible before getting your survey done. Mine came in at 185K without the motors and was declared to be at full value of $225k once the motors were installed. Below is the contact info for the surveyor

My insurance was through Ron Brockman he was instrumental in getting this all handled and also directed me to the surveyor. Getting insurance on a custom built boat is no easy task, I went through a lot of research to get this done. Ron is also a hard core fisherman and has also purchased a 30 foot Kodiak kit. Ron come's highly recommended by many people. Ron's website is  http://www.therbiagency.com/

Chuck and others who have finished.  On your Oregon state form for homebuilt boats do you remember which box you checked for construction?  Curious if there is an advantage for checking one over the other?  wood, fiberglass, other?

TIA Todd
