It will also put your insurance company at ease...

Woodsy, ecellent advice.... I have been around boating my whole life, and look at boats all the time. So when I go to buy, I know what things to look at and never think about a survey.... But for that first time buyer even if a back or insurance doesn't require it, it is the safe way to go.....
