This bears repeating. A survey just isn't all that expensive, comparatively speaking. There was a guy posted here last season or the season before, IIRC, who'd paid something like a couple thousand for a boat, no survey. It was only a couple thou, right? Ended-up costing him another $10k, or something like that, to fix her.
Who would put $10k into a boat for which they paid $2k? Somebody who had the boat and couldn't bear the thought of simply discarding a boat that could be made good? (See my previous post on the subject.)
