I dont get electrical surveys done at all, ever. there is not a used
boat on earth that does not need all the electrical ripped out and
replaced.

Fresh water.

Even in salt, the electrical wiring, etc can be okay. Old boats may
need more circuits, but that's a different subject. Our wiring is fine
after 35 years (other than a few quick-disconnect connectors) in a
salt/brackish environment and little maintenance.

Now *electronics* is a different story. I'm not sure I've seen a
"mature" boat that didn't need new radios, depth, knotmeter and the
like. I never even tried to power up the VHF Xan came with.
