A pre-purchase C&V is the most comprehensive survey and strongly recommended when purchasing a new or used vessel. It includes an in-depth examination of the vessel's structural integrity, electrical system, electronics, propulsion system, fuel system, machinery, navigation, and other miscellaneous on board systems, as well as an out of water inspection and sea trial.
