I'll second that - although I think one can get carried away with

Agreed, Tom. When I was considering buying my 23 ft. cuddie, somebody
on here firmly suggested that I demand a survey and sea trial...

For a boat I was going to give less than $2000.000 for?

I can understand as you are mechanically inclined and have no small
knowledge of engines, transmissions and mechanical systems.

For the average schmuck, even at $2000, inspections can be very
important.
