Michael-
You will need to have a marine surveyor look at any potential
purchase, so why don't you buy some time with a good surveyor and get
some informed advice before you start?
A good surveyor will have the answers you are looking for, and should
also know the market value of boats in your area. You will also be
able to evaluate your surveyor choice when you do the 'interview'.
Most surveyors would probably prefer this arrangement to the usual
'giving of bad news' scenario.

That's good advice.

Any boatowner will tell you that the boat he owns is the best, and by the
way, would you like to buy it?

PS - Make sure the surveyor is not a boatowner!
