As our 2025 update to our boat buying series continues, Scott Miller of Miller Marine Consulting joins us to talk about the importance of a pre-purchase survey on your chosen Great Loop boat. Our discussion includes details on how to choose a surveyor and what to expect both during and after the survey.

The Great Loop is the boating adventure of a lifetime! Loopers cruise the 6,000-mile Great Loop route aboard their own boats completing a circumnavigation of the eastern U.S. and part of Canada via mostly protected inland waterways. The Great Loop route follows the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, the Chesapeake Bay, and the New York Canals northwards, goes across the Great Lakes, south on the Inland Rivers, and then east Gulf Coast to complete the Loop.
