Gil,
They run about 300-500 if I recall correctly. He will sound the hull to make sure it is solid, or been previously repaired. Big area to know about is whether the transom is solid. Two boats I almost got had wet transoms that I did not want to deal with. Will check engine for compression of all cylinders, tilt, steering, electrical systems, batteries, lights, electronics, pumps, fire extinguishers, safety gear. Usually give an opinion on the trailer as well. I had Bob Gallagher out of Beverly do the surveys, and when he finished the last one, he said if I did not buy that boat, he would.....
