You will have a realistic– unemotional – report of the good points and bad points of a vessel.

You will have bargaining power if negotiating the purchase …

You will have a much better idea of what work and equipment will be necessary after purchase You will have a required document by any marine insurance company when insuring the vessel or when negotiating a loan.

The insurance company covering your vessel requires a new survey? (They do from time to time to assess the current value of your vessel)
