It doesn't sound like your surveyor was very competent. Coming to a survey without a properly working moisture meter, if that is a tool he normally uses strikes me as a bit incompetent... not carrying an extra battery for the meter is just stupid on his part. I would be leery of relying on his survey or advice.
I'd also recommend you read the
Boat Inspection Trip Tips thread I started, as it will help you determine a lot about the boat, and help you decide whether a survey is warranted or not—saving the cost of a survey on boats that are not worth considering further.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
