Seriously considering buying a boat (for the first time), I need to find a top=notch surveyor in Rhode Island. Can you help with suggestions? Thanks!

I keep my boat in Newport and used Bill Coble for a survey. I was quite impressed with the scope and depth of this work and his professionalism. He is a member of SAMS (Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors). His contact info is: phone: 401-295-1389 and email cobleboatsurveys@aol.com. His father Paul is also a marine surveyor so I guess it runs in the family so to speak. Given the TERRIBLE experience I had with another surveyor, I cant emphasize enough the importance of a good survey. Please feel free to email me offline.

I did try to send you a message through SailNet, but if that did not work, please also try to contact me. Your experience and advice would be much appreciated!
