Surveys I have had done are usually priced by the foot, my experience for my 35 has been from $10-$15 per foot, the highest price was for the purchase survey in 2004 which was done by an accredited surveyor in the USA (Maine).

Any one know a good surveyor on Long Island? What about cost for a survey for a 30' boat - inc rigging and engine? Boat is currently in the water, so I'll likely have to get it pulled out to see the bottom and keel as well. Not sure if the brokers yard will charge me for that or if they do it to get the sale??
