The client reported that he is the original owner and ordered the vessel to be built. He reported that the engine, transmission and generator are original. He reported that the vessel has been hauled for bottom paint. The vessel was inspected while hauled. The engine and generator were not test operated and no sea trial was performed. The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of the recommendations should be suitable for its intended purpose as a near coastal lobster fishing vessel. |

VALUES
| ACTUAL CASH VALUE | NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE | INVESTMENT |
| Removed for privacy |
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. The most relevant data found while researching the value is included below. We primarily use market value analysis methodology for determination of value.
Explanation of value opinion: The average sale price of similar vessels on Soldboats.com is $233,780 and the average current listing price of similar vessels on Yachtworld.com and Boattrader.com is $347,450. The vessel is in average condition for its age. Our research yielded limited results so our search was expanded to include boats two years older that sold in 2018 and 2019. The vessels that sold in 2018 and 2019 were not affected by the Covid-19 value spike.

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
- Display the HIN on the transom per federal regulations.
- The EPIRB is new and the registration has been ordered from the company. Apply the registration sticker to the EPIRB upon acquisition.
- The date on a fuel feed hose is 2006. The industry accepted “rule of thumb” life expectancy of fuel hoses is 10 years. Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use.
- The original fuel fill has been abandoned and the tanks are filled directly. Seal or remove the original fuel fill fittings to eliminate any liabilities.
- We strongly recommend the installation of carbon monoxide and smoke alarms.
- Provide a waste management plan as the vessel is over 39’ in length.
SECONDARY
- There is gelcoat damage about the starboard hull side at the trap hauler. This area is reportedly reinforced and the damage is simply cosmetic. Address as desired.
- The gelcoat is thin at the bow and chipped just aft of the bow on the port side. Address as desired.
- There is red fluid below the transmission and engine. Determine the cause of the fluid, eliminate the cause, service or replace the components as necessary and clean below the engine to allow the detection of future weeps or leaks.
