When I was buying my boat two months ago, the selling broker said he knew a good surveyor. I said have him call me with an estimate. Well, he had the survey done. No big deal, it needed to be done. However, I just received the bill - $504. Seems high for just a visual survey. The boat was out of the water, he only tested the systems that he could run off the batteries. Did not start the engines, no compression checks (the broker had this done for me - no charge), did not remove outdrives, etc, etc.
Is $504 too high for that type of survey? Do I just send him a check and keep my mouth shut?
