Inspections
Get a separate mechanical inspection on the motor from whichever dealer has the specialties that way you can get the printout from the ECU (assuming it is more late model). If an older model you still want a compression test and to know if there are things to look out for and if there's any water in the leg oil etc. For the hull etc you need a shipwright to get a decent inspection. Keep in mind none of these are a warranty of any sort.
You can do your own basic inspection of the hull to ensure all systems/lighting/plumbing are working and a visual inspection for cracks/damage/softness etc. Open every inspection panel and hatch and have a good look around.
