P	Pacific Coast Yacht Sales on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Paul and Arlen have always been fair and easy to deal with. They have been kind to fit us into their busy schedule on a number of occasions with short notice.
T	Tyson Donneaud on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a pre-purchase survey done by Western. They missed more defects than I can list here. Helped me make a $100,000 mistake. Outdrives failed after 1 hour, bilge pumps run every 15 minutes, worst paint job I've seen on a Formula, One engine is down a cylinder the other has a knock, massive corrosion issues just to name a few. They are either inept or just don't care for Americans. I'd suggest a different surveyor.
r	robert wilder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One star, how about no star ! Made an appointment in April confirmed A month later the time to be there ! Took the week off work and hauled the boat out put it on the hard and power washed it and $800 plus later he did not even show up or call me . Now I have to get a new surveyor and haul the boat out again for my insurance broker! Thanks for nothing
E	Erik Rasmussen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Don't waste your money! Don't waste your money!! This is by far the worst surveyor i have ever come across. You would think for 1000$ he could at least write an accurate report. The report was completely inaccurate, starting with the year built being listed as 2002 when the boat is actually a 2013. Mistakes and Inaccuracies 1. Year built listed as 2002 actual year built 2013 2. All valves listed as bronze actual valve type stainless 3. Flares and safety equipment listed as none, actual number of flares 18 on board, in a cupboard clearly marked "FLARES" 4. Listed radar and radome as installed equipment, (there is no Radar or radome on this boat) 5. No record of actually installed electronics or any equipment whatsoever. 6. I feel lucky he did listed it as a sailboat not a powerboat! This is the short list . This survey was a complete sham totally worthless. I DO NOT recommend Paul Dupre not even if you're desperate.
S	Sr Ol on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Boaters, don't let this crook on your boats for survey at any cost !!! Demand a different surveyor. Extremely unethical person with very low professional standards. Paul Dupre is "killing" deals to steal qualified buyers to... sell them his own or his buddies vessels on the side...!!! Several people in the boating community later told me about his similar activity with their boats. Additionally, a different, high level surveyor was very surprised by his "findings" on my boat when the next buyer ordered a survey. Paul Dupre moral standards and knowledge are inadequate to even be around boats. This happened not recently, but I feel that sailors should know about this "rat" in the boating community.
K	Karl Sandberg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Was on my boat for 1 hour with a mechanic as well. Blown headgasket caused me to cancel the survey after 40 mins. He cheated me $525 for 1 hour of his time and provided me with zero documentation. How can 1 hour cost $525? Won't return my calls.
R	Roger MacDonald on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ RUN!!! Do not walk away from this idiot, Paul Dupre. The most useless (not a) surveyor I have ever used. Did not show up for the scheduled appointment. Had to stay on the hard for two more days. No less than 24 obvious errors and omissions on the survey. Quoted a price at $20/ft and billed $25/ft. Omitted most domestic equipment and electronics, all safety equipment and genset. Errors too many to list. When I contacted him to edit the report, he flatly refused. Had to get another survey done. He is a waste of time and money.
M	Mike Di Nardo on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Highly recommended. Paul has been great to work with. My 1973 Trojan needed an insurance survey and Paul took the time to point out little tidbits and features about the old boat that I didn't even know about! Would use him again any day.
