Surveyor for 46' in Providence RI for Initial Visit and Pics

Hello YF members. Have been following Post forum for some time, have a few friends who are current owners. We are interested in finally purchasing, and have identified a 46' Post in the Providence area, and we live in Baltimore MD. Before the Admiral, myself and another long term Post owner make the trip to view the boat, I was hoping to arrange for a surveyor or other referred professional, to be contracted (yes willing to pay a reasonable fee) to visit the boat, take a fair amount of good pictures, and report back as to the basic condition of the boat before making the arrangements to travel up to visit. Too many sellers and brokers, as many know, will tell you a boat is in excellent condition, only to be disappointed when you actually show up to see the boat. Boat is located 20 minutes from downtown Providence. Will provide link via PM, based upon contact with individual.

Any recommendation or referral would be appreciated.

Davidoc, agree completely, will certainly get a engine survey with analysis performed of mains and gen along with full survey, as well as a successful sea trial. At this point, I am looking for a first look, touch and pictures before making the initial visit.

Have read many of your comments to posts here over the last couple years and respect all of your valuable insight from ownership and experience. With a positive result of a purchase, will be looking for even more insight from yourself and the other owners here, hopefully in the near future. Eventually, will hope to take a Post to FL for a winter trip.

Seth Fisher, thank you very much for offering your time and effort. I will respect your desire to refrain from any monetary compensation, provided you at least allow me to treat you to a meal and beverage when we do come up to Providence.

YF Admin, kudos to you sir for recognizing Seth’s generosity also, thank you.

Seth, I will PM you a link to the listing, if that’s acceptable.

A prime example of why I posted here on YF, as I’ve read many threads with posts of this exact type of generosity.

Seth, sent you a PM with details. Broker said you’re welcomed any time.

Traveled and looked at the boat. The search continues.

Beau,

Looking for a 46, Mark II hull, so 88 or later, 672’s or 692’s, for family cruiser. Been watching YW and BT on a regular basis.

Angela,

Please contact me via PM and we can exchange contact info. I am interested in speaking with you about your Post. I still have pics from when it was advertised previously. Still located at Lighthouse Point in Canton?

Tim

Angela,

My apologies for not including in original reply. I am not a broker, but an interested buyer, local to Baltimore, specifically Middle River area.

Look forward to communicating about the Post.

Regards

Well I am pleased to say the search resulted in a 1991 46’, 692’s, and a local boat as well.
