[Alberg30] Surveyors- was: Boats available?

[Chris Blain]

Yeah, I've actually done this routine before, with a
'61 Rawson 30. It does cost thousands more to get one
going, but the sense of accomplishment can make it
worthwhile. It's a good idea to employ a good
surveyor, even for a free boat. 

Speaking of which, can anyone recommend a good boston
area one?
