Yes, my surveyer gave me a market value report of the boat. Just like a real estate agent would do, they compare your boat with those recently sold and currently on the market and give a fair market value opinion.

Of course these days, you can almost do that yourself online. But you may have to pay for access to a couple of websites that collect such information.

They also work like a home inspector to inspect all the systems on the boat, and tell you what is working and what is not, as well as what may need work or improvments to come up to the proper standards.
