Agree with most of the posts above: You are screwed.

Also, regarding surveys, I have always thought that you were paying for the surveyors OPINION of what condition a boat was in, and what needed to be fixed... and NOT what ACTUAL condition the boat was in, and what needed to be fixed. Big difference.

No doubt JoeTheCobbler would jump all over this with his seal of approval, but that is why it is imperative that if you are going to contract someone to review your choice of boat, you need someone that is reputable and BETTER at it than you. It is, otherwise, an exercise in futility. Caveat Emptor. You just bought a learning experience. I hope it was not too expeisve.
