Surveyors will look for the vented loops and note if they are not there.
Insurers require them.


Not my experience.

You need to get to know a better clase of surveyors...REAL ones, not
just bozos who think that 10 years experience in doing things the wrong
way qualifies 'em call themselves a "surveyor."

Unfortunately, the same applies to insurance companies who don't know
that a boat isn't just a car or house that floats, or what a REAL
surveyor is supposed to know (and shouldn't even be IN the boat
insurance business--at least when it comes to anything bigger than a ski
boat)...so they hire the cheapest bozos and take their word for it that
the boat meets all the standards without ever bothering to find out
whether the bozo has the slightest idea WHAT standards, if any, apply.
