Default Do-it-yourself survey. How? Look for what?

I want to do a preliminary survey on boats I am interested in buying, and
those that look good will have probably have a professional survey done.

So what's the best way to check floors, decks and transoms for leaks and
wood core rot (or delamination. A small hammer and ears, ice pick, moisture
meter, eyeball?

My last big boat had a solid hull and wood topsides so I have some
experience, but the laminated boats are new to me.

What's your advice? Many thanks....
