I don't know if I'm "special" or not, but my insurance company said nothing about a survey and I insured it for half again more than what you're talking about.

I got a survey by and individual recommended by the broker. Not because he was recommended by the broker, but because of his professional membership and recommendations by others in the area. And I got it to be sure I was buying a sound boat, not something that had been hacked by a previous owner.
