This inspection was performed upon the request of the client listed above on November 2, 2021 while the vessel was hauled at Oceanside Marine Center and afloat at Oceanside Harbor slip XXX, Oceanside, CA and XXX (client), XXX (representative of owner’s trust / maintains vessel), XXX (captain / representative of owner’s trust), XXX (broker), Kells Manthei (surveyor) and Kells Christian (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
N / A

 

 

This survey is for the express purpose as a buyer’s / pre-purchase survey.  The actual cash value is the value that our research approximates the selling price of 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: Our value is partially based on the Soldboats.com reported sales prices, Yachtworld.com and BoatTrader.com listing prices.  The surveyed vessel is equipped with an engine that has limited market share and the availability of replacement parts is unknown.  The surveyed vessel has no upgrades to its navigational electronics or machine systems.  The condition of the vessel, its systems and its location have been factored into our valuation.  The vessel that sold in long Beach, CA for $67,000 on June 16, 2021 is the best comparable vessel for size and location; it is equipped with a flybridge and its electronics, while dated, are newer than those on the surveyed vessel.  The data from Soldboats.com, Yachtwrold.com and BoatTrader.com have factored in the demand and value spike attributed to Covid-19.  Our replacement value is based off Yachtworld.com research of similarly sized and equipped vessels that would be “brand new” in California.

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. While the vessel is legally compliant with the coast guard with the handheld SOS strobe and distress signal flag, we strongly recommend the carriage of approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. We strongly recommend the installation of carbon monoxide, smoke and propane alarms.
  4. The ventilation for the propane tank locker is questionable.  Assure the locker is properly ventilated to the exterior of the vessel.
  5. There is no pressure gauge or remote electric shut off solenoid valve for the propane system.  ABYC recommends the installation of these devices in the LP system.  Install the missing devices per ABYC recommendations.
  6. The galley range is not thermocoupled.  Assure that the galley range is thermocoupled per ABYC recommendations.
  7. The anchor chain and wildcat on the windlass do not mate.  Assure that the chain is sized properly to mate with the wildcat and address appropriately.
  8. The windlass clutch is seized. Service the clutch (and windlass) as necessary and prove it properly functional.
  9. Install a bale on the anchor roller.
  10. The steaming light and anchor light are inoperative.  Service or replace the lights and prove them properly functional.
  11. The separate side lights and stern light are dim.  Address appropriately or as necessary.
  12. The audible engine alarm is intermittent.  Address appropriately to assure proper functionality of the engine alarm.
  13. The head intake, engine seawater intake and head discharge through hull valves are seized and there is corrosion on the head intake and engine seawater intake through hulls.  Determine the cause of the corrosion, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary, clean the through hulls and prove them properly functional.
  14. The bilge pump in the lazarette is inoperative.  Service or replace components and prove the pump properly functional.
  15. There is no sacrificial anode on the propeller shaft.  We strongly recommend the installation of a sacrificial anode.
  16. There is rust port forward on engine components, on and below the raw water pump and there is moisture present.  Determine the cause of the rust and moisture, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean and dry the area to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
  17. There is minimal corrosion on the small pipe connection to the aftercooler.  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.
  18. There are eight wire terminals on one post of the starboard forward engine room battery.  ABYC recommends no more than four terminals on one battery post.  Change the wire installation to assure that no more than four connections are on the post per ABYC recommendations.
  19. Soft sounds were noted when percussion testing forward on the hard top and it was soft under foot.  Determine the significance of the sound differences and softness and address appropriately or as necessary.
  20. Rust colored water dripped from the radar antenna during the sea trial and from the penetration on the hard top by the cedar post.  Determine the cause of the rust colored water and address appropriately.
  21. Several navigational electronics did not properly function including the Garmin GPS 120 did not power up, the Garmin GPS 232 had no fix, the radar is inoperative and the vhf speaker was intermittent.  Service or replace the components as necessary or desired and prove them properly functional.
  22. Open grounds were noted when testing the outlets to port forward in the cabin, in the head and in the lower plug in the galley.  Determine the cause of the open grounds and address appropriately.
  23. We strongly recommend the installation of a GFCI device or outlet per ABYC recommendations.
  24. There are wing nuts on the forward battery for the bow thruster.  ABYC prohibits the use of wing nuts on battery terminals, replace with steel nuts and lock washers per ABYC recommendations.
  25.  One connection is loose on the forward battery and there are crystals present.  Properly secure the connection on the terminal and clean the battery post to allow detection of future corrosion.
  26. There is no circuit breaker for the AC outlets or for the galley refrigerator.  We strongly recommend installing proper overcurrent protection for these devices.
  27. The galley refrigerator is an AC / DC refrigerator.  There is no DC supply for the refrigerator, address as desired.
  28. The flexible fuel feed and return hoses are dated 2000 and are not labeled USCG type hoses.  There are also different types of flexible hoses in use in the feed and return system.  The industry accepted standard life expectancy “rule of thumb” for fuel hoses is ten years.  As the hoses are not marked USCG approved, replace the hoses.
  29. The fuel fill hoses and the fuel vent hoses are dated 1985 and the fuel fill hoses are cracked.  Replace the hoses.
  30. There is a leak at the freshwater pump to port aft in the engine room.  Determine the cause of the leak, eliminate the cause, service or replace components as necessary and clean and dry the area to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
