Maybe it's different in Canada, but here in the U.S. it's caveat emptor. Buyer beware means you have an obligation to perform due diligence, and most sales contracts are loaded with disclaimers that put the onus of vessel inspection on the purchaser and which make no warranties about the condition of the vessel.
There are however exceptions due to fraud, malfeasance, etc. But if it's a simple case of you accepted an old survey as indication of the current condition of the vessel, that would not qualify.
More info needed.
