FAQs
Why are wooden boat inspections necessary?
When performed by a professional, a wooden boat inspection can ensure there are no issues with critical components of the vessel. By being proactive and checking ahead of time, you can potentially avoid costly repairs and issues which can keep your boat sidelined for an extended period. Performing regular inspections also keeps the value of your boat as high as possible and inspires confidence in potential buyers.
What do wooden boat inspections check for?
A wooden boat inspection will check on all critical components of the boat’s performance and aesthetics. A full mechanical inspection will make sure the engine and all running components are in good working order. The boat itself requires a great deal of scrutiny, because any issue with the lacquer or protective coverings can lead to wood rot or damage.
How often should my boat be inspected?
The frequency of a boat’s inspections is ultimately up to the discretion of the owner, but many people choose to have their boat inspected once before the season and once after, or once per year at a minimum. The age, location, condition and value of your boat are all variables to consider when determining the right inspection schedule.
