While I heartily agree with the sentiment that spending the money on a
surveyor is money well spent, I do disagree on the above statement. A
good surveyor should allow you to be there and ask questions, and be
willing to explain everything to you that she finds. If you feel the
surveyor does not want you around, find a different one. We just
purchased our first large sailboat, and the surveyor wanted us there and
spent 7 hours going over the boat with a fine tooth comb, explaining any
problems, the seriousness or not of the problem, and possible ways to fix
them.
