STANDARD SURVEY

 

Client: Removed for privacy Date of report:  August 22, 2022
Current owners: Removed for privacy Our file #:        22 – 20430web

This inspection was performed upon the request of the client listed above on April 25, 2022 while the vessel was on a trailer at XXXX, Chula Vista, CA 91910 and XXX (current owner, briefly attended), Danny Steevens (apprentice surveyor) and Kells Manthei (surveyor) 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.

VALUES

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE INVESTMENT

Removed

 

 

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 value is based on the Soldboats.com reported sales prices, Yachtworld.com and craigslist.com listing prices below.  East Coast Parker Marine 2120 and 2320’s that sold between June 2019 and November 2021 had an average sale price of $27,600.  The average sale price of similar vessels that sold on the West Coast between June 2018 and December 2020 is $28,375.  Boats that sell on the West Coast typically hold a higher value; several of the reported sale prices are prior to the Covid-19 related spike.  The Parker Marine 2320 listed for sale in San Diego, CA for $50,000 on craigslist.com is slightly larger, but is a 2008 model and has upgraded navigational electronics, increasing its value.  The Parker Marine 2520 listed for sale in Oceanside, CA for $50,000 is a slightly newer (2004) model that has upgraded navigational electronics but has double the hours on the engine.  The surveyed vessel is smaller and has less equipment than similarly priced larger models, and we have factored this into our valuation.  The surveyed vessel is listed as a 2004 model but was determined to be a 2002 model based on its HIN.  The market continues to have an upward value movement due to the extended Covid-19 induced spike.  The vessel is being sold with a trailer.  The value we have placed is on the vessel only and does not include the trailer; the value of the trailer is beyond the scope of this survey.

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.  Consider mounting a fire extinguisher in the cockpit and one inside the cabin (as there are multiple extinguishers aboard).
  2. Provide federally required, approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. There is no fixed reboarding device for the accidental swimmer.  We strongly recommend providing one.
  4. The engine’s oil dipstick smelled of gasoline.  Determine the cause of the gasoline odor, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and change the oil as necessary.  The client intends on having a mechanical survey performed.  We recommend following the recommendations of the mechanical surveyor.
  5. We strongly recommend the installation of a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm inside of the cabin.
  6. The combination anchor / steaming light did not illuminate.  Service or replace components as necessary and prove the lights properly functional.
  7. Provide garbage and oil placards per federal regulations.
  8. The fuel fill hose is dated 2010, the vent and feed hoses are dated 2001.  The industry accepted standard “rule of thumb” for the life expectancy of fuel hoses is ten years.  Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use and replace as necessary.
  9. There are two unmarked hoses in use between the fuel filter, primer bulb and engine.  ABYC recommendations state that fuel hoses should be properly marked and that they are approved for use by the US Coast Guard (USCG Type).  Assure these hoses are suitable for their application or replace them with suitable hose.
  10. There is no hose clamp on one hose connection of the primer bulb.  Install the hose clamp.
  11. The battery was found disconnected and there is only one battery aboard.  Properly connect the wiring on to the battery and assure that the connections comply with ABYC recommendations (stainless steel nuts and lock washers).
  12. Provide terminal protection for the battery per ABYC recommendations and properly secure the battery.
  13. The bait pump is hard lined to a battery connection (it energizes when connected to a power source and has no switch).  Properly wire the bait pump to a switch with approved overcurrent protection per ABYC recommendations.
  14. The registration decals are expired.  Renew the registration and apply the new registration decals per federal regulations.
  15. Apply the mussel tax stickers per federal regulations.
  16. The registration document aboard the vessel is expired (and decals).  Bring aboard the current registration and apply the current decals per federal regulations.
  17. The cockpit deck hatches are not secured and present potential trip and fall hazards in their current installation.  Properly secure them.

 

SECONDARY

  1. There is a small unfilled fastener hole approximately 10” inboard from the transducer on the transom by the edge.  Fill the fastener hole to eliminate potential liabilities.
  2. The mushroom fitting forward on the starboard hull side is deteriorated and cracked on the inside.  Replace the fitting to eliminate potential liabilities
  3. The registration numbers are damaged on the starboard side.  Address as desired.
  4. The paint is failing on the propeller and there is rust staining on the blades.  Address as necessary or desired.
  5. There are color / age differences in the gelcoat on the hull sides.  Address as desired.
  6. The vessel is dirty.  A dirty vessel can hide potential cosmetic deficiencies.  Clean and address any deficiencies that may be found as necessary or desired.
  7. Address the filled fastener holes / repairs to starboard on the transom by the transducer as desired.
  8. The vinyl accent stripes and stripes on the cabin top are damaged.  Address as desired.
  9. There is a small repair on the starboard hull side amidships approximately 2” below the accent stripes.  Address as desired.
  10. The exterior gaskets on the sliding windows are loose.  Address as desired.
  11. There is an area of thin gelcoat forward on the starboard lower lifting strake.  Determine the significance of the thin gelcoat and address as necessary or desired.
  12. The vessel has no antifouling paint.  We strongly recommend having a “saltwater conversion” performed if the vessel is intended to spend long periods in the water.
  13. The trailer is rusted in several locations.  The vessel is stored on the trailer.  Determine the significance of the rust and address appropriately.
  14. The trim tabs actuate quickly.  We recommend not using them at wide open throttle or higher rpm if not familiar with their speed of movement.
  15. The follow components were not tested or inspected:  electric horn (after DC power was connected), all functions of navigational electronics (power up and basic functions were tested).
