A buddy is thinking about buying a used boat, current owner is down in Olympia. Anyone know/recommend a tech who he could hire to make a quick visit to the boat, do a compression test/and give him a mechanic's-eye view?

I was going to recommend Tom's as well. I don't know about their prices, but their service is good.

Bought a motor and had it installed by Tom's in my duck boat. I was impressed.
This was 10 years ago....but they were quality.

Wouldn't a marine surveyor do the same thing, plus look the whole boat over and determine value?
