Is it necessary to get a new boat surveyed?



No, unless your insurance company or financing institution requires it.
Unless required by either of these, to survey or not is up to the buyer, new
boat or used boat.

It's still a good idea though. New boats are not necessarily problem-free
and hidden shipping damage, although rare, is not totally uncommon. A good
surveyor will also offer recommendations to further improve the reliability
of your purchase.

The original poster didn't mention the value of the new boat, where he
would buy etc.
I would think that if you were buying a new modestly priced boat (under
$25K) from a dealer with a good reputation, the warranty might be good
enough.
