core and moisture meter.

All measurements are relative but certainly a good baseline to compare with foredeck mounting clearances. The wet areas of the fiberglass core are well documented with this tool. Undoubtedly, it is also useful for boat builders or repairers.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Safety

Marine Surveyor is the best among scanners and testers

I have had about 10 such units over the years. I like the 0 to 100 scale and the relative information. Units are not durable if, like me, you use them every day. A bit temperamental in cold weather as the batteries tend to drain quickly which leads to the big issue I have. Cheap battery cables are easily damaged and tend to fail after just a few batteries have been replaced. I would like the company to develop a device with a battery compartment instead of cheap cables. They are asking a lot…

Pros
  • Tools and household goods
Cons
  • No power

I'm not a surveyor, but now I can probably become one. I paid a guy 250 to come out and rub this thing on the hull for 3 hours and he came up to the chain plates on the boat I loved and said.

Let me check the mast tilt. BEEEEEP (full scale) tapped it with a hammer. "Should I stop now? This boat is not insured,” I said. I…

Pros
  • Measuring and marking tools
Cons
