When we were looking for our boat we found one about 2000 km (1200 miles) away that was out of the water for winter storage. A surveyor there agreed to survey just the hull to look for wet core or other issues. He found no problems so we continued negotiations and ultimately settled on a price, contingent on the result of a full survey and sea trial. A few small problems were found in the full survey so an adjustment was made in the purchase price to cover repairs the seller wasn't willing to make himself (or that I would rather complete myself) and we bought the boat.
So surveyors will do part surveys if it suits the circumstances. Ken H.
