Over 40 year old boat insurance no survey

[Restoration man]

Anyone know if it a possible to get fully comprehensive boat insurance for a 1978 31foot grp boat without a survey, ?????just bought the boat didn’t bother having a survey done as it’s was only 13k , I’ve been around boats for years and was prepared to take punt on it using my own judgement on the boat’s condition, so don’t shoot me down on that please , I will get a survey when I’ve got the boat more cosmetically presentable as I’m hoping on improving it’s value, hence why don’t want to go to bother having it survey at the minute, if anyone has names of companys that might cover me fully comp could they let me know please

Well if you are selling it to make money , cosmetic is no good if the survey is crap

Im not selling it , I just don’t want the expense of having it surveyed just to be told what I already know / think is wrong with it ,
Don’t get me wrong , I’ve had boats surveyed in the past , but the price of this boat I was prepared take a punt on it , know the pitfalls, I just wondered if anyone out there has insured a 40+ year old boat fully comp without getting it surveyed????? If no then I will just insure 3rd party until the time comes ,
