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 value is based on the Soldboats.com reported sales prices and Yachtworld.com current listing prices below.  There was limited data for Victoria 34 sailboats that have sold or are currently listed, so our research was expanded to include similar age and build vessels in the United States and Great Britain.  We have included Pacific Seacraft in our comparable data; they are heavier built and better equipped, increasing their value.  The surveyed vessel exhibits deferred maintenance and exhibits work that was started and then stopped.  The surveyed vessel has no functional radar and its navigational electronics are dated.  The condition of the vessel is a large factor in our valuation; we were also unable to find many Victoria 34’s, showing a smaller market.  The vessel has been equipped with three electric self-tailing winches which is the most significant upgrade on the vessel.

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 extinguisher per NFPA recommendations.  Extinguishers should be inspected and tagged annually and inspected by a qualified technician or replaced every six years.  Extinguishers should be evenly spaced throughout the vessel for easy access in emergency situations.
  2. Provide federally required, approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. We strongly recommend the installation of a carbon monoxide alarm and smoke alarm.
  4. Provide an oil placard per federal regulations.
  5. Determine the origin of the water about the transducers below the forward salon bench seat and address appropriately.  Clean the area to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  6. Determine why the aft GFCI outlet in the galley needs to be reset prior to resetting the forward GFCI outlet and address appropriately.
  7. There are small wires hanging from the AC main circuit breaker box in the port cockpit locker.  Properly dead-end the wires and assure they are not live or remove them to eliminate liabilities.
  8. Install terminal protection on the batteries per ABYC recommendations.
  9. Properly label the circuit breaker for the outlets that is below the galley sink.
  10. The age of the standing rigging is unknown.  We recommend a rigging survey be performed and to follow the recommendations of the rigging surveyor.
  11. The fuel fill fitting is marked “fuel”.  Mark the fuel fitting as diesel to eliminate liabilities.
  12. The fuel feed hose is dated 1998 and dates were not seen on the fill or return hoses.  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 them as necessary.
  13. The fuel vent hose is non-USCG type.  Replace with approved hoses per ABYC recommendations.
  14. Determine the cause of the fuel odor below the quarter berth and address appropriately.
  15. The freshwater has an odor.  Address appropriately.
  16. We were unable to test the galley range as the alarm continually sounded and would not let us energize the remote solenoid switch.  Address appropriately and prove the LP system properly functional.
  17. Determine the significance of the corrosion that is 10” above the cabin top forward on the mast and address appropriately or as necessary.
  18. There is rust at the exhaust elbow connection on the engine.  Determine the cause of the rust, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean the area to allow detection of future weeps, leaks and rust.
  19. The exhaust discharge hose is cracked and exhibits weep stains.  Replace the hose.
  20. The engine room insulation is failing.  Replace it as desired.
  21. There is corrosion at hose connections on the heat exchanger on the engine.  Determine the cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean components to allow detection of future weeps, leaks and corrosion accumulation.
  22. Replace the missing hose clamp at the engine’s raw water pump hose connection.
  23. There is corrosion on the galley sink drain through hull fitting and there are salt crystals and corrosion on the waste overboard through hull.  Determine the cause of the corrosion and salt crystals, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean the components to allow detection of weeps, leaks and corrosion accumulation.
  24. The vessel’s registration was not seen aboard.  Bring it aboard.

 

SECONDARY

  1. The paint on the hull sides, cabin and cockpit is in poor condition.  Address as desired.
  2. There is no way to start or stop the engine from the cockpit.  Address as necessary.
  3. There is mold in several locations including: the LP locker, the side liners and head liner in the salon, the starboard forward locker in the salon and the starboard locker in the forward cabin.  Address as desired.
  4. There is a color difference forward on either side in the cockpit and at the fuel fill fitting.  Address as desired.
  5. Address the crazed deck hatches and foggy portlight lenses as desired.
  6. Determine the significance of the water damage below the foredeck hatch in the forward cabin and address as desired; the cause of the water damage has reportedly been addressed.
  7. Address the repairs just aft of the Dorade boxes on the cabin top as desired.
  8. The paint is failing about the portlight frames.  Address as desired.
  9. There are no grates / strainers in the deck drain fittings.  Install grates to eliminate potential injury and potential clogging of drains.
  10. The sole boards are worn in the salon, most notably by the mast.  Address as desired.
  11. Replace the missing wood panel at the navigation panel as desired.
  12. There is a crack in the liner forward in the head and to port in the galley; there is a repair at the crack in the liner above the galley.  Determine the significance of the cracks and address as necessary or desired.
  13. The water heater did not seem to get warm.  Address as desired.
  14. There are corrosion stains below the deck drain fitting inside the locker in the galley and there is spider cracking by this drain fitting.  Determine the significance of the cracking and the cause of the corrosion staining and address as desired.  Clean the area to allow the detection of future weeps, leaks, staining and corrosion.
  15. The head liner in the forward cabin is loose.  Address as desired.
  16. The following components were not tested or inspected: sails, manual bilge pump, range, grill, all functions of entertainment devices and navigational electronics (power up and basic functions were tested).
