Maybe it's common but if the owner really wants to sell the boat and you are serious about buying the boat then maybe try to negotiate...with the owner (seller) or the broker...I doubt that either would let a sale slip away for that much money and I agree with you, the seller has in my mind an obligation to do his/her best to make sure that the boat is ready for survey and moreover be prepared to state that in his/her honest opinion it will pass survey and if not then be prepared to do his/her part to make it so...otherwise survey becomes a scam that will only put money in the surveyors' pockets...I believe we still have a buyers market for used sail boats, seems to me there are still lots to choose from left.
