The external surfaces and peripheral components of the engine and transmission appear good. The engine oil is dark. The engine controls functioned normally. The exhaust system is properly arranged and installed. The propulsion components were visually inspected. The propeller shaft is near the bottom of the exit port, as visible from below. The engine room blower was energized. The through hulls were visually inspected and the valves were manipulated. The through hulls are in good condition. The seawater systems were visually inspected only, as the vessel was inspected on the trailer. Overall, the seawater systems appear good. The electric bilge pump was energized with its toggle switch.
Summary: Good
TANKAGE
Fuel: One plastic tank in bilge forward of engine, 40 gallon capacity*
Fill & vent: One fill fitting per side amidships
Feed & return: Flexible fuel grade hoses
Water: Ballast only
Holding: None
Comments: The fuel system including the tank, fill, vent and feed lines was visually inspected as installed. Where visible the fuel system components are in satisfactory – good condition. The condition and age of the fuel and the integrity of the tanks (fuel and ballast) is beyond the scope of this survey. Please consider filling all tanks for a simple, practical test of their integrity. Accuracy of tank level gauges is beyond the scope of this survey.
Summary: Good
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
AC system: None
DC system: One 12-volt wet cell battery in box below post aft bench seat, battery switch by battery, second 12-volt sealed battery to port forward, 12 volt system
Wiring: Multi-strand wires
Circuit protection: Fuse panel below helm console
Comments: The electrical system including the batteries, wiring, circuitry components and circuit protection equipment was visually inspected and most components were tested. Overall the electrical system is in satisfactory condition. The condition of the batteries is beyond the scope of this inspection. Battery cables at the aft battery have clear insulation, similar to speaker wire. The connections of this battery are loose; the right base speaker below the helm console is damaged.
Summary: Satisfactory
SAFETY AND LIFE SAVING
Portable fire extinguishers: None
Fixed fire system: None
Flotation devices: None
Horn/distress flares: Electric horn, no flares seen
Navigational/anchor lights: Combination bow light, all around lights
Anchor & ground tackle: None
Other equipment:
Comments: The vessel is primarily used on inland lakes and rivers and thus may not be subject to federal carriage requirements for components; however they are a good idea. The vessel was not equipped with any fire extinguishers, floatation devices, distress signal flares, ground tackle or radio. The vessel is equipped with a functional electric horn, the navigational lights are properly arranged and installed, however the all around light is inoperative.
Summary: Faulty

INVESTMENT $33,000
The actual cash value is the value that our research approximates the selling price of this vessel should be, at the time and place of our inspection. Consideration is given to vessel’s condition, geographic location, published listings and guides, comparable sales and listings, and market conditions. The new replacement value is the cost of this or a similar, new vessel, comparably equipped. The investment is the reported investment including purchase price and significant upgrades. No values include maintenance costs, storage or tax.
Standard Form Key: All systems are rated based upon their appearance, ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.
RECOMMENDATIONS
These recommendations are the surveyor’s ideas and suggestions for addressing deficiencies with damaged or suspect components or systems found during survey or general improvements. The primary recommendations address safety items, structural issues, operational issues or deficiencies which the surveyor determines are of greater importance or more expense than secondary deficiencies. For instance, items that pose a risk to passenger safety or immediate property damage are listed under primary deficiencies and cosmetic concerns are addressed under secondary deficiencies. Most of the recommendations have been addressed in the comments and usually they are discussed at the time of the inspection.
PRIMARY
1. We strongly encourage providing all federally required carriage components, even if the vessel is used on inland lakes and waterways. This should include fire extinguishers, floatation devices, distress signal flares, stickers (trash, oil and carbon monoxide) and logical additional components including ground tackle and a VHF radio.
2. Assure the battery cables in use are suitable and intended for this purpose, replace as necessary. Comply with ABYC recommendations.
3. Properly make battery connections as to terminals to the aft battery; the current battery cables’ connections are loose to that battery.
4. Service and prove the all around / anchor light properly functional.
5. The propeller shaft is off center near the bottom of the exit port, modify if / as necessary or monitor and address as necessary.
SECONDARY
1. The upholstery exhibits discoloration and weathering, with some cracking and age related damage. Address appropriately.
2. There is minor striping damage on the hull sides, address as desired.
3. There are small stress cracks forward of the starboard fuel fill fitting. Address if / as desired.
4. There is surface rust on the trailer and weathering / age damage on the fender guides. Address as desired.
5. Properly secure the separators and covers for the ballast tanks, they were found loose.
6. The right side bass speaker below the helm console is damaged, replace as desired.
7. Engine oil is dark, service the engine as necessary.
