For me it's balancing risk vrs knowledge. As I've got older I've become more risk adverse. My first boat was old 19ft single petrol, second was 27ft twin petrol neither boat did I have a survey done, I felt more confident with basic petrol engines and structural checking of these relatively simple boats.

latest boat is 35ft much newer / more money /more complex / diesels, I had a hull survey and a separate marine engineer report on mechanicals and he also came on the sea trial.

broker did comment I wouldn't find any issues and more or less this was accurate, engineer  did find it needed 1 supercharger clutch though which wouldn't of been apparent at river speeds.

I agree with Simon,  I think it boils down to how risk adverse you are as an individual. 

I was once advised never to gamble what I couldn't afford to lose.
