SUMMARY

The vessel is a composite fiberglass swift trawler equipped with a single diesel engine and diesel generator.  The vessel was built in Taiwan, its original hull design was by Rough Water and it was completed by Mikelson Yachts.  The broker reported that the current owner purchased the vessel in November 2019 in San Diego, CA.  He reported that the engine, transmission and generator are original.  He reported that the bottom paint is two years old.  He disclosed no problems with the vessel and has no knowledge of any significant events in the vessel’s history including submersions, collisions, fires, etc.  The vessel was inspected while hauled, afloat and underway between the boatyard and the slip.  The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of the recommendations should be suitable for its intended purpose as near coastal cruising vessel.

Overall Summary: Satisfactory

 

Standard form key:     We use subsection and overall ratings to summarize conditions found, based upon their appearance.  Ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.

 

 

 

VALUES

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE INVESTMENT
Removed Removed 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.  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 $161,250 and the average current listing price of similar vessels on Yachtworld.com is $230,000.  We have included several Roughwater vessels in our Soldboats.com data, however, they are older vessels which tend to hold less value.  The older vessels are not included in our average.  The 2004 Roughwater that sold for $180,000 is the surveyed vessel.  We have included on 1981 Roughwater 41 and two Roughwater 36 Sedans (1981 and 1984) in our current listing data but have excluded them from our average due to their age.  The vessel is average condition for its age.  The vessel is a unique build so our research was expanded to include similar builds.  The Beneteau Swift Trawler and the Menorquin are both equipped with two engines, increasing their value compared to the surveyed vessel.  The best comparable vessel is the surveyed vessel, which sold in November 2019 for $180,000.  The data from Soldboats.com and Yachtworld.com have factored in the demand and value spike attributed to Covid-19.

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 fire extinguishers per NFPA recommendations.  Extinguishers should be inspected and tagged annually and inspected by a qualified technician or replaced every six years.
  2. Provide federally required, approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. The port side navigational lights is inoperative and its lens is discolored.  Service or replace the light (and lens) and prove it properly functional.
  4. Two combination CO / smoke alarms did not sound when tested.  Service or replace the alarms and prove them properly functional.
  5. The inverter briefly energized before the controller showed a “fault” and the inverter de-energized.  Determine the cause of the fault and why the inverter did not function and address appropriately.
  6. When testing the outlets on generator power, our outlet tester displayed an “!V” error code or displayed no voltage at all (blank screen); the outlets and GFCI still functioned when tested in this condition.  Determine the significance and cause of this condition and address appropriately.
  7. Determine why the galley GFCI outlet tripped once while testing the microwave and address appropriately.
  8. The transmission oil pressure gauge is inoperative.  Service or replace the gauge and prove it properly functional.
  9. The steering ram stopped on the actuator.  We recommend installing stops so the steering does not stop on the actuator.
  10. There is corrosion and moisture on the transmission oil cooler and a dark liquid is just outboard of the cooler.  Determine the cause of the moisture on and outboard of the transmission oil cooler, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and dry and clean the components in the area to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  11. There is corrosion and rust on components to port forward on the engine (transmission oil cooler pipe) and a hose is damaged.  Determine the cause of the rust on the components, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary, replace the damaged blue hose and clean the components to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  12. There is corrosion on the engine’s raw water pump.  Determine the cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean the components to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  13. Numerous hoses are still wrapped in plastic and are likely original.  We recommend replacing the hoses as they appear to be at the end of their service lives.
  14. The engine’s seawater intake through hull valve is seized.  Service or replace the through hull valve (and/or through hull) as necessary and prove it properly functional.
  15. A weld is broken on the outboard grab rail to the bridge deck.  Address appropriately to eliminate liabilities.
  16. Sound differences were noted throughout the side decks and foredeck when percussion testing, the deck flexes underweight forward and by the port amidships cleat.  Determine the significance of the sound differences and flexing and address appropriately or as necessary.
  17. No dates were seen on the fuel hoses.  The industry accepted life expectancy “rule of thumb” for fuel hoses is ten years.  Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use and replace as necessary.
  18. There are no identifying marks on the fuel return hoses and the hoses are cracked. Replace the hoses.
  19. Clear flexible hoses are in use for fuel sighting.  We recommend either replacing with glass tubes with protective cages or keeping the valves shut when not sighting fuel to eliminate liabilities.
  20. Determine the cause of the oil on the insulation of the lid on the generator’s sound box and address appropriately.
  21. Determine the cause of the belt squeal on the engine and address appropriately.
  22. A reinforced flexible hose is in use on the engine oil blow by connection.  It is not a heat resistant hose, replace it with an appropriate hose.

 

SECONDARY

  1. Clamps are missing on the strainer starboard forward in the engine room for the waste tank vent.  Replace the clamps.
  2. One overhead light in the aft cabin is inoperative and two overhead lights in the salon functioned intermittently.  Service or replace the lights and prove them properly functional as desired.
  3. The automatic light in the forward locker in the aft cabin is inoperative.  Address as desired.
  4. The water maker was energized and briefly tested but the condition of the system is unknown and was reportedly not used by the current owner.  Address as desired.
  5. Replace the lock receiver on the icemaker as desired.
  6. The gelcoat is chipped on the transom door.  Address as desired.
  7. The pie eye inspection hatch on the radar arch is damaged.  Address as desired.
  8. Address the ghost lettering on the transom as desired.
  9. There is a crack in the aft panel above the aft berth.  Determine the cause (as possible) and address as necessary or as desired.
  10. There is cracking around the frame of the port aft portlight in the aft cabin, paint damage, and there is paint damage and cracking in the aft head below the portlight.  Determine the cause of the damage and cracking and address as necessary or desired.
  11. There are numerous blisters on the hull bottom in the paint (apparently).  Address as desired.
  12. There is rust staining below the port lower rub rail.  Determine the cause of the rust staining and address as necessary or desired.
  13. The windscreen is crazed and the bimini top is aged.  Address as desired.
  14. There is water damage below the companionway steps in the salon.  Address as desired.
  15. The lip / accent on the locker below the galley sink is separated.  Address as desired.
  16. There is a void in the gelcoat on the port hull side forward of amidships and the gelcoat chipped when percussion testing.  Address as desired.
  17. There are rust stains on and below the forward port light on the interior of the forward cabin.  Address as desired.
  18. A dog is seized on the port aft portlight in the forward cabin.  Address as desired.
  19. Determine the significance of the sound difference noted when percussion testing by the port swim step mounting bracket and address as necessary or desired.
  20. There is corrosion below the water heater’s heat exchange hose connections at the water heater.  Determine the cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and dry and clean the area to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  21. The starboard transom light is inoperative.  Address as desired.
  22. The following components were not tested or inspected: all functions of entertainment devices and all functions of navigational electronics (power up and basic functions were tested).
