An engine survey should in no way be confused with a guarantee.
Tell me about it.

More importantly, I now know a mechanic that will properly do an engine survey. According to him an engine survey is not complete without a sea trial at WOT. The mechanic I use now now will take the prospective boat out with the owner and have the owner run the boat WOT (in gear). During this period is when he starts inspecting the engine both visually and with a temperature gun. I imagine many engine problems will show themselves at WOT.
