Pre-Purchase Trailer Boat Inspections
Buying a trailer boat involves more than just inspecting the hull — the outboard motor, electrical systems, and trailer condition are just as important.
At Deaspec Marine Surveying, our Pre-Purchase Trailer Boat Inspections are designed to provide buyers with a practical independent assessment of the boat, outboard motor, and trailer before purchase.
Trailer boat inspections may include:
- Hull bottom, topsides, and transom inspection
- Moisture testing and percussion sounding where required
- Cockpit, interior, and deck hardware review
- Outboard motor visual inspection and on-trailer run check (where water supply is available)
- Engine Scan and Relative Engine Compression testing
- Steering, trim / tilt, gearcase, and propeller inspection
- Electrical and accessory system review
- Electronics and navigation equipment power-up checks
- Bilge and drainage review
- General trailer inspection including frame, coupling, winch, suspension, rollers / skids, and visible condition
- Detailed written report with photographs and recommendations
