I humbly recommend that you go back to Greg Brannon's post and read it line for line over again. He recommends: (1) read Marine Survey 101. This was written by a Port Credit Marine Surveys and it is a very comprehensive look at a pre-purchase by a prospective owner. Then, Greg says (2) Hire both a hull and engine surveyor and have them both go over the boat. Get some local recommendations for thorough surveyors.
You are considering the purchase of an older 40 + foot boat. Any money you spend on surveys and pre-purchase investigation is money well spent. Some of the best decisions I have ever made have been to walk away from a prospective deal because of the survey.
Good Luck.
