Layout/interior components: Express cruiser style with cockpit aft, bench seats in
cockpit, helm to starboard forward with bench to port. Sliding companionway to cabin,
head to port aft, galley area forward of head, dinette starboard and berth forward.
Bilge: Holding minimal
Comments: The vessel was inspected while hauled and afloat. The hull bottom was
visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull bottom is in good structural
condition. The age of the anti-fouling paint is unknown, it exhibited good coverage.
The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded as possible while
vessel was hauled. The hull sides and transom are in good structural and cosmetic
condition. Prior to the sea trial there were scrapes visible on the port hull side, forward
of amidships, approximately 1’ above the waterline. While docking the vessel the same
area of the vessel contacted the dock, rubber transfer was visible and circular stress
cracks emanate from the area of rubber transfer. This area is not accessible internally.
There are minor anchor dings at the bow. There is no visible documentation number. A
vent cover is broken off of a port hull side fitting, aft of amidships. There is a visible
“paint run” on the bottom of the boot stripe to port on the transom. There is paint
“splatter” on the bottom of the portside of the swim platform. There is a crack on the
starboard aft corner of the swim platform, visible from below. The deck and
superstructure were visible inspected, randomly sounded and randomly tested with a
moisture meter. The deck and superstructure are in good structural and cosmetic
condition. The deck hardware including safety rails, mooring devices and hatches was
visually inspected and the hatches were opened and closed. Overall the deck hardware
appears good. There is a filler cushion missing, it is designed to go between the
portside helm area bench seat and the superstructure. The structural reinforcements
including the longitudinal stringers and bulkheads were visually inspected, randomly
sounded and randomly tested with a moisture meter. The structural reinforcements are
in “as-built” condition. The condition of coring material, in the stringers, deck, and
elsewhere as applicable, is beyond the scope of this survey. The fiberglass tabbing has
detached at the forward dinette bench seat’s aft hull side connection. There is black
soot visible to starboard aft in the engine room. There is unusual odor in the engine
room; the source is beyond the scope this survey.
Summary: Good

Comments: The engines, transmissions and generator were visually inspected and
tested during a sea trial. This survey is not a mechanical survey, the client’s
representative is a mechanic and is familiar with the benefits of a mechanical survey.
The generator is installed between the engines; accessibility to the engines is limited.
The external surfaces and peripheral components of the engines and transmissions
appear satisfactory – good. There is corrosion aft on the port engine and on the port
transmission. There is a leak from the bait tank’s plumbing to port aft, overhead in the
engine room. The engines were warm upon arrival; the broker stated that he had not
run the engines that morning. No cold start was observed. During the sea trial the
engines appeared to run normally, except for an apparent turbo-boost delay. The rpms
would increase, moments after the throttles were increased. The exhaust smoke opacity
is higher than normal; the cause of this condition is beyond the scope of this survey.
Wide open throttle was approximately 2810 per engine and the top speed was
approximately 31.5 knots. There is a low speed rattle; it is likely from the transmissions,
though its source is beyond the scope of this survey. The engine controls were test
operated and functioned normally. The exhaust system was visually inspected and
appears satisfactory. Rust stains below the port engine’s exhaust hose are indicative of
a leak. The odor and soot visible to starboard in the engine room are also indicative of
leaks. The propulsion components including the propellers, propeller shafts, struts and
shaft seals were visually inspected. The propellers were percussion tested and spun
with a fixed object adjacent to the blades and the propeller shafts were observed
underway. Overall the propulsion components appear satisfactory – good. There was a
small ding on one of the port propeller blades; Mr. (removed for privacy) hammered it
somewhat smooth while the vessel was hauled. The transmission oil pressure gauges
were pegged during the sea trial. There is an unknown noise at the helm. The engine
temp is higher to port; the cause of this condition is beyond this survey. The steering
system was visually inspected and tested, it functioned normally. The blowers were
energized. The generator was visually inspected as possible, test operated and loaded.
The generator functioned normally. There appears to be a water leak at the generator’s
heat exchanger. Mr. (removed for privacy) noticed that the generator was not equipped
with an air box, for the air intake. The through hulls and related components were
visually inspected, scratched and tapped externally and
most of the valves were manipulated. Initially all of the valves were stiff, most were freed up. The seawater
systems were visually inspected and most components were tested. Overall the
seawater systems appear satisfactory. Many seawater hoses exhibit external cracks,
including the raw water cooling supply hoses to the engines. The aft bilge pump was
energized with its float switch, the mid bilge pump was energized with its manual switch;
the forward bilge pump was not energized. There is minor pitting on the trim tabs.
Summary: Satisfactory – Good
TANKAGE
Tanks: Two (2) aluminum tanks, in cockpit bilge, 172 gallons each
Fill & vent: Flexible hoses
Feed & return: Racor fuel/water separator filters, flexible fuel grade hoses, manifold aft in
engine room
Water: Plastic tank in center engine room bilge, 60 gallon capacity *
Holding: Plastic tank to port in engine room
Comments: The fuel system including the tanks, fill, vent, feed and return lines was
visually inspected as installed. Overall the fuel system appears good. Both fuel fill
hoses are lying on top of plywood bulkheads, cut out for their penetration. No chafe
protection is used. The condition and age of the fuel (water) and the integrity of the
tanks (fuel, water and holding) is beyond the scope of this survey. Please consider filling
all of the tanks for a simple, practical test of their integrity. A single tank was in use upon
our arrival, the reason for this valve position is beyond the scope of this survey. The
water pressure system functioned normally.
Summary: Good
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
AC system: 2 – 30A/125V inlets to starboard in cockpit, 110 volt system, shore power
cord
DC system: 3 – 12V batteries outboard of starboard engine, 2 – 12V batteries outboard
of port engine, 3 battery switches under steps to cabin, 12 volt system
Wiring: Multi stranded wires
Circuit protection: GFCI outlets, AC main circuit breakers to starboard forward in cockpit,
DC circuit breakers by helm, master DC panel below steps to cabin
Comments: The electrical system including the shore power cord, shore power inlets,
batteries, wiring, circuitry components and circuit protection equipment was visually
inspected and most components were test operated. Overall the electrical system
appears good. The condition of the batteries is beyond the scope of this survey. The
fresh water “II” pump is inoperative. A courtesy light to port of the helm is missing a
lens. The center windshield washer is weak. The waste discharge pump is inoperative.
The shower sump pump is inoperative. There is no power to the television. The raw
water pump is inoperative and activating it trips its circuit breaker. The autopilot display
has damage. The following components were not tested: oil change pump, automatic
function of the bilge pump forward in the engine room, function of the forward bilge
pump, engine air pre-heaters, and CD changer.
Summary: Good

Comments: Safety equipment for firefighting protection appears satisfactory, however
none of the extinguishers have been inspected and tagged in the past year, per NFPA
recommendations. Flotation devices appear satisfactory for near coastal use. The horn
is functional. Distress signal flares are aboard but the expiration dates have passed.
The navigational and anchor lights are properly arranged and installed; the aft bulb of
the combination steaming/anchor light is inoperative. The ground tackle including the
anchor and rode was visually inspected as installed. The entire length of the rode was
not inspected and should be so inspected prior to use. The carbon monoxide and
smoke alarms were tested with their test buttons. The handheld spotlight was not
tested.
