What a pre-purchase survey covers

A pre-purchase survey is commissioned by the buyer to find out what they are really buying: the condition of the structure and systems, anything unsafe or out of line with the standards the boat should meet, and what it is worth. It is usually the most thorough survey a recreational boat gets, often with the boat hauled out and a sea trial. An insurance condition-and-value survey covers much of the same ground, framed for an underwriter.

This is the checklist SeaWorthy's marine survey software works from. 50 of the 155 items apply to every boat. The rest depend on the vessel: sail or power, length, fuel and propulsion, whether the survey is in the United States or Canada, systems such as LPG or a generator, and whether there is a sea trial. Each item is rated Satisfactory, Requires Service, Not Observed or Not Applicable.

Sailboats applies only to these boats ABYC H-27 standard or regulation referenced

Standards are listed for 120 of the 155 items, by code only. They show where to look, not what the standard says; always check the current edition. Items without one are descriptive records or condition judgments that no standard publishes.
