And how would this surveyor tell that it was going to crack, and that
there were voids under the areas that hadn't cracked yet? You don't get
x-rays for 250 bucks.

Smart people hire inspectors before they finalize a house purchase, and
often, the inspectors see stuff the buyer does not, because the customer's
all happy in la la land about the purchase. Same with boats.
