This is the best site I found for searching:

Contact the fellow below to survey the boat or recommend someone closer.
Surveyors can be a real crap shoot and I know him personally. You are
looking in a pretty low cost range for something in which you are going very
far from a harbor of refuge.

If you are going out on the ocean, try to avoid boats where the cabin door
sill is at the bottom of the cockpit. The cockpit can be a funnel for a
fatal amount of water if you take a big wave. A short deck aft of the cabin
is well worth stepping over.

Decks are usually the first thing to go on a glass boat. Walk on every part
first thing. If they feel spongy in spots, run. Blisters are primarily
cosmetic but should be attended to.

If the boat has a metal keel that is attached outside the glass, ask the
surveyor about the keel bolts. They may need to be x-rayed or one pulled.
If the keel comes off, you'll probably die.
