Joe, I guess I would fore go a survey if I was only spending a thousand or two on a boat like you.

But. I never bought a house without a home inspection, or a used car with out having it looked at by my mechanic.

The last boat I bought cost more than my first two house"s I owned and was new on the dealers boat yard. Yes, I had surveyed. Yes, there were some little things the dealer need to redo. Like rewire the water heater and navigation lights. I would have not caught it myself. Yes, that would have been covered under warranty, but who wants to lose use of their boat for a week or two until the dealer gets around to correcting the problem. I have had a problem free boat for ten years. It was money well spent.
