Rob, If your surveyor "Peter K" was from Sheboygan, he surveyed Calypso before we made an offer. He used that line "picking fly sh*t out of pepper" on me when I interrogated him on several issues / differences between what I observed during my inspection and what he reported.
He did prepare a detailed report that assisted in making the purchased decision. He looked to be in his 70's back in 1998. When did you use him?

Recommended by whom....the seller's broker? My surveyor was 'not recommended'......I chose him myself. When I notified the seller's broker, the broker said to me on the telephone "Oh no, tell me I don't have to deal with Peter K____th, he can pick pepper out of fly sh_t". I chose the surveyor myself from the US Accredited Marine Surveyors (probably got their association name wrong, but you all know what I am talking about) . I had a completely different experience than you did, maybe because my surveyor 'did not have the seller's interest in mind'. My surveyor had my interests in mind. I made sure of that! Sounds like yours did not. Sorry to hear that, you will know better next time around.
