Interesting, MJ. You almost always associate a boat survey with being part of the pre-sale process, either on the seller's or buyer's part. It didn't occur to me to use a survey to find out all about a boat you already own to see what needs fixing. That's some good advice.

Crusher,
No problem. This deal isn't really Highway Marine's transaction. The seller happens to work there and HM's owner's girlfiend put it up on eBay as a favor. There's not really any dealer support prior to or after the sale. It's just sitting in their lot. Which is fine. At this price, I'm not expecting any service to go with it. Sorry you didn't really have a good experience with them. I've heard something similar to that before. I love it when they say a boat "passes the compression test". What do they think, we're stupid? A V-6 might have 120psi in five cylinders and 60psi in a toasted one and it's going to technically have "compression". I'm with you. Give me the numbers.
