We just finished the survey/boat buying process.

Hauling the boat and pressure washing the bottom cost $450 on a 41 ft boat. I would look at that as cheap insurance against what the previous surveyor might have missed. Plus seeing the bottom cleaned and getting good pictures was nice.

If you have chosen a good surveyor he will know what to look for. Ours had a well thought out routine he follows to cover all the systems.

If you have suspicions about any area I would suggest telling the surveyor your concerns, for instance does the boat type and model have any consistent weak points?
