This inspection was performed upon the request of the client listed above on October 6, 2021 while the vessel was hauled at Driscoll Mission Bay and afloat at SeaWorld Marina slip XXXX, San Diego, CA and XXXX (owner), XXXX (broker) and XXXX (captain, friend of the owner) 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.

SUMMARY
The vessel is a production fiberglass sedan cruiser equipped with two gasoline engines with v-drives and a gasoline generator. The vessel was built in New Jersey, USA. The current owner reported that he purchased the vessel in San Diego, CA in April 2013. He reported that the engines, transmissions and generator are original as far as he knows. He reported that he had service done to the vessel in April 2021 including new risers installed on the engines, the heat exchangers were serviced, the spark plugs and belt were replaced and the oil was changed in the engines and transmissions. He reported that the bottom paint was applied at that time and eight through hulls and valves were replaced. He reported that the port propeller shaft, propeller, propeller shaft seal and rudder were replaced during the haulout at the boatyard’s recommendation. He disclosed that the refrigerator does not work and had no other disclosures. He reported no knowledge of any significant events in the vessel’s history such as submersions, collisions, fires, etc. The vessel was inspected while hauled, afloat and underway on a sea trial in Mission Bay, CA. The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of the recommendations should be suitable for its intended purpose as a near coastal cruising vessel.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory

| Removed | Removed |
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 average sale price of similar vessels on Soldboats.com is $42,950 and the average current listing price of similar vessels on Yachtworld.com is $61,885. The vessels are all similarly equipped (the Silverton convertible is equipped with higher rated Crusader 502 engines). The surveyed vessel has no significant mechanical or electronic upgrades. The surveyed vessel has a full flybridge and cockpit enclosures. The condition of the vessel is the most contributing negative factor in our valuation. 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. |
