I've had 3 different surveys all from various surveyors. It is my opinion that the best survey is the one you do yourself and the best surveyor is the cheapest. I've never had a surveyor who went to the depth of detail I would have wanted. They are doing what almost anyone with an entry level of boat knowledge could do. No engine. No rig. Not even a very in depth look at the electrical or structure. Basic and common stuff that will cause fires or sinking. Your money is far better spent buying a book about how to perform your own survey. You can even buy their (the surveyor's) moisture meters and IR cameras for less than the cost of the survey. You perform the preliminary survey yourself. If you like what you see then pay for the cheapest surveyor you can find just to get a check in the box for the bank or insurance.
