I'm purchasing a 2010 Catalina 375 with less than 100 hours on the engine. Overall, the boat is in like new condition but has been in the water in the upper Chesapeake for the last two seasons. The boat was hauled and re-commissioned in November, 2012. My own inspection revealed a little water in the center bilge (well below the float), but nothing more. Manufacturer warranties remain on the engine and electronics.
The purchase is through a reputable, local dealer who has committed to deliver the boat with all systems in good order. Should I spend $800 for a marine survey? My insurance company does not require it.
