Also a good point, but a certified Marine surveyor does have to be independent. However if buying a boat and you know a really good one, they are worth flying them anywhere to do the inspection. I have one I have flown over a thousand miles to do a sailboat survey for me. And it was worth every extra dollar of cost. He surveyed 4 boats for me before he gave me the thumbs up on one.
