This inspection was performed upon the request of the client listed above on October 28, 2021 while the vessel was hauled at Ventura Harbor Boatyard and afloat at Ventura Isle Marina, slip XXX, Ventura, CA and the client, XXX (owner), XXX (broker), XXX (broker) attended.

 

Scope of Services

 

The vessel was examined by surveyor and/or surveyor’s agents from all accessible areas of the interior without removal of secured panels, destructive testing or disassembly.  The hull bottom laminate, plating and/or planking was examined by percussion sounding and visual inspection only. No moisture content readings were taken, and no destructive testing was performed.  The surveyor may have used a moisture meter if/when they deemed it useful or if specifically requested by client.  Exterior hardware was visually examined for damage and drive components were tested by sight only.  The inspection of engines, generators, machinery and related mechanical systems is not within the scope of this survey.  Only a brief cursory inspection of the machinery was conducted, and no opinion of their overall condition was formed.  Client shall retain the services of a qualified mechanic, engine surveyor or other expert to inspect such engine, generators, machinery and related mechanical systems.  Tankage was inspected from visible surfaces only and no opinion was rendered as to their overall condition.  On sailing vessels, the rig was not inspected aloft, nor were sails inspected unless they were visible during a sea trial.  Client shall retain the services of a qualified rig surveyor or other expert to inspect sails, rigging and equipment.  The electrical system was visually inspected where accessible, and electronic and electrical components powered only with permission of or in the presence of the vessel’s owner or agent.  No in-depth testing or examination of the electrical system or electric schematic was conducted.  Specifications were taken from published sources, measurements if made, should be considered approximate.  The recommendations are based on federal and state regulations, industry standards, and/or surveyor’s own personal experience.  The market value is based on research of available new/used comparable vessels, with consideration of geographic area where the vessel is located and reported sale prices where available.  The surveyor will refer to and may reference CFRs, NFPA and ABYC recommendations (and/or other services) as the surveyor deems reasonable but not all regulations and recommendations will be applied nor should this report be relied upon as full compliance with the aforementioned entities.  Every vessel inspection is different, and limitations may alter the scope of this survey, some limitations will be implied in the text of the report and some will be explicitly detailed. A Marine Survey Agreement which is reviewed and signed by the client details the terms governing this marine survey.

Bilge: Holding minimal water

 

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.  There are few blisters, we noted five on the port hull bottom aft and there are likely more that were not seen.  The blisters were not visible after the bottom dried.  The blisters that we saw were all less than ¾” in diameter and tapping one resulted in fluid coming out.  Based on the appearance and the fluid they likely originate just below the gelcoat.  The antifouling paint was reportedly applied at Ventura Harbor Boatyard six months ago.  The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded.  The hull sides and transom are in good structural and satisfactory cosmetic condition.  There is miscellaneous damage about the boot stripes including scratches and wear/age related damage.  There is some normal wear type damage and apparent repairs around the transom door.  There is rust about the swim platform fittings and supports.  The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and randomly sounded.  The deck and superstructure are in satisfactory structural and cosmetic condition.  There is a crack at the base of the bow plank, visible from below.  The deck hardware including safety rails, mooring devices and hatches was visually inspected and most hatches and the port lights were opened and closed.  Overall the deck hardware is in satisfactory condition.  The windshield has corrosion and blistered paint.  There is corrosion at the base of the tower pads and distortion of the fiberglass about the pads, primarily noted at the aft two pads.  There are cracks visible on the bottom of the hard top.  The hard top exhibited variations when percussion tested.  There is age related damage to the upholstery at the tower helm.  The structural reinforcements including the stringers and bulkheads were visually inspected and randomly sounded.  There is an open void at the top of an intersection in the reinforcement grid to port of center in the lazarette bilge.  The structural reinforcements appear to be in “as-built” condition.   The bilge is holding minimal water; the origin of the water is beyond the scope of this survey.  The interior cabin spaces are neat, clean and orderly.  The interior of the vessel is in satisfactory cosmetic condition.  There is water damage forward on the cabin sole and the sole is wet.  There is damage about the fasteners below the steps into the cabin, including a chip in a wooden fiddle and a fastener which slightly missed its mark and is exposed in the middle of the fastener.  The mirrors in the head are de-silvering, the head liner is loose to starboard in the cabin and the side liner is loose in the starboard forward locker.  There is miscellaneous usage and wear type damage to the interior wood (more than normal).  This survey is not a mould inspection.  The condition of the coring, in the hull, deck, and elsewhere as applicable, is beyond the scope of this inspection.

 

Summary: Satisfactory

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. Maintain the fixed and portable fire extinguishers per NFPA recommendations.  Extinguishers should be inspected and tagged annually and inspected by a qualified technician or replaced every six years.
  2. Assure the vessel has all legally required carriage items including approved and current distress signal flares, oil and garbage placards and a waste management plan.
  3. Service and prove the horn properly functional and assure there is a suitable sound signaling device available at both helms.
  4. Service and prove the stern light properly functional, it did not illuminate.
  5. Service and prove the forward bulb of the combination steaming / anchor light properly functional, it did not illuminate.
  6. Straighten or replace the anchor, it is bent.
  7. Provide a secondary anchor or rode for use in two anchor situations or emergencies.
  8. Service and prove the CO alarm properly functional and mounted.
  9. Maintain the life raft per the manufacturer’s recommendations, it is vintage 2001 and has no inspection tag.
  10. The fish box macerator pump’s circuit breaker tripped and there was high amperage when it was briefly energized.  Eliminate the cause of this condition and prove the pump properly functional.
  11. There is no position or time information on either of the vhf radios, provide and install information required so the radios will function in the distress mode.
  12. Eliminate the water leak from the port engine exhaust system just aft of the engine, address the installation of the hose and clamp which is improper.  Remove staining below this leak to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
  13. Service and prove the audible alarm functional for the port engine.
  14. There was slightly more play between the port propeller shaft and the cutlass bearing than starboard.  The cutlass bearings were reportedly replaced six months ago, confirm that the cutlass bearings were replaced and determine why there is uneven wear apparent on the port side and address appropriately.
  15. Evaluate the corrosion on and distortion / cracking of the fiberglass below the aft mounting pads for the tower and address appropriately.
  16. Determine the significance of the crack visible at the junction between the bow plank and the hull from below and address appropriately.
  17. Determine the source of the moisture (likely freshwater) forward on the cabin sole, eliminate the source and repair damage as necessary.

 

SECONDARY

 

  1. Provide a hose for the cockpit shower as desired, no hose is attached.
  2. Service the shore power inlet weather cover and prove it properly functional.
  3. The tower GPS had inaccurate coordinates, determine the cause and address as desired.  This unit has no weather cover and exhibits exposure damage, address appropriately.
  4. There is no vhf radio at the tower helm, we encourage installation of a vhf radio at this location.
  5. The starboard spotlight did not illuminate, service as desired.
  6. The raw water washdown pump did not energize, address as desired.
  7. Modify the water heater’s wire connections so they are protected by the cover on the heater and secure to reduce potential for damage at the connections.
  8. The Furuno GP-1650 plotter at the lower helm did not energize, address as desired.
  9. There are several inoperative lights, including the starboard hard top light, light in the head and two center overhead lights in the cabin, address as desired.
  10. The vessel is equipped with two batteries, consult with a qualified marine electrician and upgrade as desired or as suggested.
  11. We did not see the waste discharge, raw water or fish box macerator pumps.  Access, inspect and address any deficiencies.
  12. Several of the engines’ exhaust hose clamps exhibit corrosion, inspect all exhaust hose connections, replace corroded clamps and eliminate any cause of corrosion
  13. There is a small ding on one of the starboard propeller blades, address as desired.
  14. There is rust staining below the generator within the sound box.  Address the cause, repair any damage and remove rust staining to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
  15. There is an open void at the junction between longitudinal and athwartship reinforcements to port of centerline in the aft bilge.  This void has been ground away leaving sharp edges, we encourage filling and capping the void with fiberglass material and eliminating any sharp edges.
  16. The windshield assembly exhibits corrosion and paint blistering, address appropriately.
  17. There are a few small blisters on the hull bottom, either repair them or monitor and repair as necessary.
  18. There is rust on and about the swim platform’s supports.  Address appropriately.
  19. There is cosmetic damage to the boot stripes, address as desired.
  20. There is age and wear type damage and apparent prior repairs about the transom door, address as desired.
  21. There were audible differences noted when percussion testing the hard top, significance of the audible differences is beyond the scope of this survey.  There are cracks visible on the bottom of the hard top.  Determine the significance of the audible differences and cause of the cracks as applicable and repair as necessary.
  22. There is minor age / exposure type damage to the tower helm upholstery, address as desired.
  23. There is usage / wear type damage to wooden components in the cabin and some damage about fasteners below the steps into the cabin, address these conditions as desired.
  24. There is damage to the mirrors in the head, address as desired.
  25. The head liner is loose to starboard in the cabin and the side liner is missing / loose in the starboard forward locker, address as desired.
  26. The following components were not tested or inspected: TV / phone inlet, water pressure inlet, oil change system, all functions of entertainment devices and all functions of navigational electronics (power up and basic functions were tested).
