David,
Welcome to the list. I would suggest you negotiate a price, then do the
survey. If things come up in the survey, you can negotiate down further.
As for installation of instruments, I doubt you'll get anywhere with
that as the dealer would most likely have to subcontract that work out.
For the bottom, you'll want to do that yourself when you're ready to
launch. Ask what's on there and know what you can use to paint over it.
The 34+ is a well-built boat. I know a few people who have them and
they are very happy with the boat's speed and comfort.
Good luck.
All the best,
Edd
