SUMMARY
The vessel is a production built fiberglass cockpit motor yacht equipped with twin diesel inboard engines. The vessel was built in November of 1998 by Caver Yachts. The vessel was inspected while hauled for routine maintenance. The engines, generator and related machine systems were not test operated. The vessel ownership history is unknown. The vessel maintenance history is unknown. The vessel appears to be in as built structural condition and good cosmetic condition. No statements were given in regard to any previous events in the vessels history such as collision, grounding, submersion, fire, insurance claim, etc. Upon completion of the recommendations the vessel is suitable for its intended use as a coastal cruising motor yacht.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory – Good
VALUES
ACTUAL CASH VALUE – $340,000
NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE – $1,000,000
INVESTMENT – N/A
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. The actual cash value is best determined by a thorough market search to determine what vessels are available on the market, followed by negotiations between the interested parties. 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.
C & V Form Key: All systems are rated based upon their appearance, ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Both port and starboard trim tabs are at the end of their service lives. The stainless steel surfaces about the zinc anodes have failed. The trim tabs are fastened to the transom using self tapping machine screws. Most machine screw heads have sheared off. The trim tabs should be through bolted to the transom. Have a qualified marine technician service the port and starboard trim tabs as needed/necessary.
2. The transom below water level light exhibits salt crystallization visible through the exterior lens. It appears that this salt crystallization is the result of a leaking through hull seal connection. Service the light/through hull fitting as needed.
3. The below water through hull fitting external strainers exhibit moderate marine growth. Clean/service the external sea strainers as necessary.
4. Several areas around the below water through hull fitting exhibit a halo effect/anti-fouling paint failure. Service as needed.
5. The bow thruster exhibits moderate marine growth and the zinc anode is near the end of its service life. Service bow thruster/anode as needed.
6. Hull bottom anti-fouling paint is thin/failing in multiple areas. Service the hull bottom anti-fouling paint as needed.
7. Provide current visual distress signal flares as required by federal regulations.
8. The four batteries located forward below the V-berth are not properly stored in vented plastic boxes as recommended by A.B.Y.C. The batteries appear to be leaking fluid. Have a qualified marine electrician inspect and service the batteries as needed.
9. A significant amount of diesel fuel (two gallons) was seen in the centerline bilge area. The origin of the fuel is unknown. Remove the fuel and clean the bilges to facilitate the detection of any possible fuel leaks.
10. Both port and starboard engine intake through hull valves are frozen in the open position. Have a qualified marine technician service as needed.
11. The generator exhaust hose visible forward of the exhaust muffler is cracked and at the end of its service life. Have a qualified marine mechanic inspect the generator exhaust system and service if/as necessary.
12. The bilge area located on centerline in the aft stateroom exhibits standing water – approx. two quarts. The drain plug located in the area is corroded and beyond its service life. Remove or replace as needed.
13. The two intake through hull valves and fittings for the AC unit exhibit significant corrosion. The port through hull valve is frozen. Have a qualified marine technician inspect and service all through hull fittings and valves as needed/necessary.
14. The two air-conditioning intake hoses located on centerline in aft stateroom bilge are cracked and beyond its service life. Inspect and replace the intake hoses as needed/necessary.
15. The forward (steaming light) did not function. Prove all navigation lights functional as required by federal regulations.
16. Both the port and fixed fire fighting systems have not been inspected and tagged as recommended by N.F.P.A. Provide adequate inspected and tagged fire fighting equipment as recommended by N.F.P.A. and required by federal regulations.
17. The shore power inlet exhibits burning. Have a qualified marine electrician inspect and service the shore power inlet if/as needed.
18. The starboard propeller shaft log exhibits water stains below the shaft log and is possibly leaking. Have a qualified marine mechanic inspect the shaft log and service if/as necessary.
NOTES
1. The generator external coolant reservoir is low on coolant.
2. The knotmeter paddlewheel/transponder exhibits moderate marine growth. Service as necessary.
3. The interior bow thruster machine system(s) are not accessible.
