Curiosity got the best of me so I googled what the boat was....Lots out there in on-line classifieds, but when you see pics that highlight the plastic cockpit gauge panels and show pics like this engine compartment - it doesn't take a brain surgeon that the boat is a money pig as that corrosion/ maintenance isn't just surface clean-up.
I don't know what the latest complainer has for experience but if it looks bad in pics, and they all have pics, it is in reality. VERY few boats are ever better than expected as it takes a rare breed of owner.

by the looks and common sense tells you it’s a POS

Just to be clear - I was not indicating that this is the boat in question - just one of a few from Online classifieds of the make/model of boat in question that had engine compartments that looked similar (this one also just happened to be $59K)... and yes, the pics tell the story of what a perspective buyer would be in store for even without a survey

It has the possibility of having some negative effect on Ed Cozzi who has done good work for many members here, the little bit interesting information here can be gleaned elsewhere...not returning a phone call is hardly reason to put this out on the interwebs, and the latest clown is just posting for his own giggles.

Perhaps you'd have better luck starting a new thread rather than adding on to an old thread complaining about a surveyor in Florida. There are regional sub-forums here where you can find local opinions for things like this.

Strange…Ed Cozzi did the survey on our 37’ Formula PC we purchased from Miami (haulover marine center) 4 years ago….he was impeccable. Honest, very thorough, detailed….more than we could of asked for. His survey saved us $10’s of thousands on the purchase of the boat. I’m shocked to read the bad comments.
