            Comments about Tramex Ltd Tramex Skipper Plus Non Destructive Marine Moisture Detector:

            I purchased the Tramex Skipper Plus to help me perform surveys when searching for a used boat to buy. While I am not a professional surveyor, I prefer to do my own pre-offer survey to ensure I do not waste time and money getting professional surveys on a boat that may turn out to have major issues. Water intrusion into decks, stringers and bulkheads can be expensive to repair and affect the structural integrity of the boat. The Skipper Plus was easy to use and gave good results informing me of potential problems to avoid. It definitely assisted me in making the right choice in the end.
