What Terry said about getting a marine survey and/because

Call your insurance agent. I would just about bet for sure they want a
marine survey before they will insure the boat. Marinas want proof of
insurance before they will let you get a slip.

Depending on the insurance company they may require the boat be hauled
out for the survey. This adds another ~$300 to the ~$10 a foot it
already costs for a survey. Best of luck to you on getting both
scheduled in time for your purchase.

About the smoke thing, insurance companies may even require a survey
done by someone not associated in any way with the broker.

The haul out is a moving target. They may not require it on the boats
less then a certain age or they may require it for everything.
