Typically, you agree on a price before the survey and then the estimated
cost of fixing anything necessary to make the boat legal and safe is
deducted if it is not something that can be clearly seen and accounted for
at the time the price is negotiated.

That is the way it's generally done. However, if I were selling a boat I'd
tell the buyer at the outset that the agreed price is the price regardless
of what a survey finds. If he doesn't like the survey he can cancel the
contract, but there will be no renegotiation of the price.


That might have worked a few years ago, but nowadays, it likely won't fly.
Maybe... you never know.
