I agree on the price... for our 40' boat in the Annapolis area we paid around $700 for a survey, and that didn't include a
rigging or engine survey. The surveyor did find the majority of issues with the boat. He spent a bunch of time pulling apart the interior cabinetry so he could access the inner hull to look for water intrusion and at the mountings for the chainplates (a source of issues on older Passport's). All in all, we were fairly pleased, but you get what you pay for.
