We're going through the purchase process on a 2008 Sundancer 330 with about 180 hours, and I'm looking for advice on surveys. What to look out for, questions to ask, etc. I'm also wondering what type of engine survey I should get, given the low hours. Thanks!

Well finally after a a couple of years of looking, we've found a nice 270 Sundancer that we may put an offer on. So I'm trying to do some homework beforehand. Can anyone recommend a marine surveyor in the Annapolis, MD area? In addition to the standard hull survey and sea trial, I'm also...
