“Hello Bill,

I just went through the report. Thank you very much for your valuable input. Understood every item, no questions about them. I will print this list and correct item by item in the next couple of weeks. The first thing I will do once I take ownership of the vessel will be to replace all the batteries. Cheap insurance.

It was a pleasure dealing with you Bill

It is very hard to find professionals like you nowadays, in all industries across, including aviation. Thank you for taking the time to check out this vessel for me.

Looking forward to receiving the full report.

Lemarchand P.”

“Hey Bill,

Just wanted to give a big thank you for your time on Friday, especially in that brutal heat and humidity. It was also a pleasure meeting a fellow aviation/boat nerd. Those are my two passions in life and I could talk about them for hours. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you a boat question every no and then. This will be the first boat of this caliber I’ve owned, so a few things are bound to come up, and I get the sense that you are a wealth of knowledge.

Thank you very much again.

"Thanks again for all your help during the inspection of the boat I am interested in buying. You are really good at what you do- I was highly impressed with your knowledge on every aspect of the boat. Plus personally i just enjoyed being around you.

I posted a 5-star review today- here's what I said:

'hired bill to do do a complete inspection on a boat i was interesting in buying. He was outstanding, highly knowledgeable, extremely thorough, and a pleasure to work with. He answered all questions I asked during the inspection with sincerity and confidence. I could tell that he loved what he did and wanted to perform the best inspection possible for the customer. He checked out everything on the vessel- hull, mechanical, and electrical. He then followed up with a very detailed report and recommendations. I feel so much better going into this purchase knowing I had a top notch survey completed by Bill. I highly recommend him!'

I may reach out to you later with questions if any arise, but the document you emailed is pretty straightforward. Look forward to getting the final report.

Again, thanks for all your help!

David

"Bill,

Thank you very much for the report. I have never needed a marine survey before and have always been slightly skeptical of what use one could actually be- besides the tests performed on the engines(s). I am very impressed with your work and learned a lot that will help me in my future boat shopping. Due to the issues you brought to my attention, I am going to pass on this (vessel). I am now much more of a believer in the need of a survey from a good surveyor... I believe your work will save me quite a bit of money and headaches down the road. I say thank you again..."

"I wanted to write to say thank you again for all of your work put in to the surveys on the yacht. I really appreciated the detain included... and definitely recognize you went above-and-beyond for me. It is appreciated!.... It was still a bit surprising to find that much wrong on a 2 year old vessel, but the work you did allowed me to get it all repaired by the builder prior to sale. I'm also updating all safety equipment to USCG standards prior to the trip, so appreciated the detail there Bill.

Please feel free to use me as a reference if you ever need one. I'd also be happy to give a nice testimonial or statement if you ever collect such things for your website or other materials. Again, as a consultant myself, I know the effort it takes to keep customers happy and go to the level of detail that you did. Again, thank you!!"

Great report- thank you. I have purchased the boat, and am looking forward to getting it over here. I appreciate the recommendations that came with it- looks like most are fairly straightforward, and things I can take care of quickly the day before setting sail to the Bahamas.

"Bill,
Thank you so much for the Great survey you did on my 32 Pro -Line. You didn't send me a report, you sent a novel with pictures!! Great Job!! You can never put a price on the piece of mind or the confidence you have in purchasing a new boat. If I was to try it would have been a lot more than the fee you charged.

Thanks again,

Bob"

Thanks for the great survey. The report is very easy to understand and real thorough. I asked many boaters for a recommendation on a marine surveyor and many of them mentioned your name. Your marine survey you performed on my Tiara was exceptionally detailed and both I and the boat broker were very impressed with your work. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a marine survey to use your services!

Was great working with you.

"Bill Potter has kept our boat acquisitions surprise free for over twenty six years: He has always taken the time to listen to our ideas on what we're looking for, and give our family sound advice that pointed us in the right direction. His inspections and reports have always guided our way towards making the right decision. Thanks Bill!"

Tim B.

 "Bill already came highly recommended, but I had no idea how valuable his services were until his findings on a survey I contracted him for highlighted an issue with the vessel. That finding probably saved me thousands of dollars and headaches. Bill is a professional and does a thorough job. Would not hesitate to contract him again."

"Hey Bill,  

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you again for your diligence and, what I 

think, was a very through inspection to get a true picture of this boat.  Your efforts 

and hard work make this an easy choice to purchase while eliminating the stressful 

situation surrounding a purchase of this magnitude."

"Hey there Bill! - thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

I think the report is spot on based on what we went through during the survey.  I 

expected to have some items that needed attention.  Being a "greenhorn" I just 

wanted to let you know that I sincerely appreciate your taking the time to answer 

some of my very remedial questions. Your explanation of the electrical system was 

great.  

It was a pleasure to finally meet you Bill.  I will certainly recommend you to anyone looking 

to purchase a boat.  

Thanks again....."

"I have known and collaborated with Bill Potter on many projects for almost two decades: He has always looked out for my, and my clients' best interests. Bill focuses on the big picture- looking into the future, and anticipating what my clients' needs will be. Bill has always done everything possible to ensure that my clients needs are met! Recently, I was tasked with acquiring a suitable tender/excursion vessel for an upcoming extended cruise. The timetable was short, and the pressure was high- We had a schedule to keep, and high expectations to meet. Bill was on time, and on point: he accommodated our time schedule, performed a careful inspection, provided a thorough report that he emailed to me in a very timely fashion, and even made some calls to expedite some last minute outfitting that the vessel required for our specific needs. HIs prophecies and concerns about the vessel indeed turned out to be true: Bill helped to see that we met our deadline, and that we sailed on time for our Bahamas cruise. It's reassuring to know that I can count on Bill to help me provide smooth sailing for my yachting program. Thanks Bill!"

"We have had the pleasure of knowing Bill Potter since our first boat in 1996. We purchased a flats boat and were excited to get it fixed up before our first launch. Since it was an older Hewes Redfisher, we asked "Bob Hewes Boats" for help. They recommended Bill to take a look at it. 
What we didn't realize at the time we purchased the boat, was that we should have had it surveyed before we bought it. Bill spent some time looking at it and told us we should never place it in the water because it would sink: That's when we learned that boats should be surveyed before purchasing. We returned the boat and got most of our money back. Bill encouraged us to keep looking. In fact, when we found a boat that he deemed worthy, we ultimately bought it. We kept that 1991 Hewes Redfisher in our family for 14 years until it was recently sold, still in good condition. 
We have graduated through the years into other boats and Bill has worked with us throughout all of them. His primary focus when helping us update our boats has been on safety. His first recommendation on our Gibson Houseboat was the installation of carbon monoxide detectors throughout the boat- One night, while the generator was running, a CO detector alerted us to a buildup of carbon monoxide gas. In our current boat, a Tiara convertible, He had recommended high water alarms. We recently had the alarm sound when a hose broke, flooding the bilge.
Bill has not only been our surveyor and adviser when helping us with our boats, but he has become a great friend over the years. We always enjoy seeing him and his family out at Elliot Key on their boat."
