Pete Eaves has been self-employed in the marine industry since 1980. Eaves Marine Solutions Inc. is owned and operated by Pete Eaves.
Pete Eaves has been providing marine surveys for sail and power vessels of most makes and sizes since 2002 and has been in the marine service business for over 35 years.
My background is structural - cosmetic and mechanical repairs on fiberglass, aluminum and steel vessels, sail and power . I have written 1000’s of estimates and invoices for boat repairs over the past 30+ years.
I am able to detect structural, cosmetic and mechanical flaws and determine how to make repairs. I can also estimate the reasonable cost for whatever repairs or services that may be required.
An Eaves Marine Survey is conducted by an unbiased surveyor who works solely for the buyer and completes the inspection based upon facts found throughout the vessel, in accordance with ABYC, USCG and NFPA guidelines.
An Eaves Marine Survey should be completed before the purchase. Purchase agreements should be contingent on a satisfactory marine survey.
An Eaves Marine Survey will include a detailed report with pictures. The report will be e-mailed in PDF format, normally within 48 hours of the completed inspection.
Most buyers are not experienced enough, or mechanically inclined to a point where they can make an adequate evaluation on their own. Even those who are qualified benefit immensely from a second professional, unbiased and unemotional opinion.
