Pre-purchase marine surveys are essential when buying a boat. For boats in the water they should be slipped for this inspection. The marine surveyor will give you a list of faults with the boat, you can take this back to the owner and ask them to repair the faults or negotiate the purchase price down to accommodate the repairs.

There are specialty surveyors for sailboats and others for engines and powerboats.
