I'm not a surveyor, but have bought without, and recently participated in three large boat surveys. Take this for what you will. Moisture meter is a low cost, do it yourself survey tool, as is a hammer sized plastic mallet for tapping hull, decking and most importantly (I think) the stringers. Feel for "softness" underfoot on all areas you will step.
And surgery is just a couple of simple cuts with a knife.
It is not the tools, pre-schoolers can do it, it is the hands and brain that run them...
