For all those that told me not to - I hope you are wrong, but I will come clean if you are and report back should "bad things happen".
For all those that told me to be methodical but not to walk away until you have all the survey reports - I hope you are right, and I will report back in a year to give an update.

Re: Surveys. I hired 3 from personally reference folks I trust. We had an "overall" a "mechanical" and a "standing rigging" surveyor. Yes, it was more expensive because I paid three experts to evaluate her but it was 100% worth it. All 3 were very impressed finding minor things across the board and I heard many comments about "this is a really clean boat, regardless of her history". Obviously, there is no such thing as a perfect survey, but I feel good we went the extra mile to find as much as possible.

Thanks for all the advice folks. I appreciate it.

Fair winds!

We all wish you the best with your new adventure.
