Pre-Purchase Boat Inspections
Buy with confidence. Schedule a Pre-Purchase Inspection with Breeze Marine Boat Service before you sign the check.
Buying a used boat is a significant investment. Don't let a shiny hull distract you from hidden mechanical issues. Our Pre-Purchase Inspection gives you a clear, unbiased picture of the vessel's true condition.
What We Inspect
We focus on the mechanical and electrical health of the vessel, including:
- Engine Compression Test: Verifying the internal health of the cylinders.
- Computer Diagnostics: Scanning for past fault codes and verifying true engine hours.
- Drive System Check: Inspecting lower units, prop shafts, and bellows for leaks or wear.
- Electrical Systems: Testing batteries, chargers, pumps, and navigation lights.
- Sea Trial Support: We can accompany you on a sea trial to monitor engine temperature, oil pressure, and performance under load.
Avoid costly surprises. Contact us to schedule an inspection anywhere in Los Angeles or Orange County.
