Canadian Certified Mechanic (Red Seal Certification),
Dale is very knowledgeable about boats, and that includes being qualified to inspect the engines. Most surveyors won't even look at the mechanical aspects, which is ridiculous. I was very impressed with his advice and I will be using his services again on the next boat we look at. Highly recommended.
