Aft from landing is master stateroom with center island berth aft and ensuite head to starboard forward. Up steps and forward from landing is port cabin with bunk berths, starboard head and cabin forward. Forward cabin has forward center island berth and second door to head.

Bilge: Holding minimal water

Comments: The vessel was inspected while hauled and afloat. The hull bottom was visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull bottom is in good structural condition. The anti-fouling paint is thin; it is scheduled to be painted while hauled. There were several groups of small (less than 1/3” in diameter) blisters. Several were probed and they originated within the anti-fouling paint. There are minimal larger (over 1” in diameter) blisters about the struts and the bow thruster. These blisters were not probed. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded as possible. The afloat portion of the survey was performed with the starboard hull side toward the dock and the vessel was not turned during the survey. The hull sides and transom are in good structural and satisfactory – good cosmetic condition. The hull sides are blue and there is visible “print through”. There was no visible HIN on the transom. There are “fade lines” visible on both sides of the transom. There are small cracks and prior repairs at the transom door threshold. The exterior fitting for the starboard transom hawes pipe is loose. There are two small rectangular patches on the port transom corner. The starboard hull side engine room vent cowling is cracked in several places. There are minor scratches visible on the starboard hull side forward. There are small areas of dark discoloration (blotches) on the starboard hull side aft. There are at least two anomalies visible on the starboard hull side; they are circles within circles, in a shape similar to a through hull. They have been painted over, one is visible to starboard above the forward sling mark and one is visible between the port lights. There are weep stains through transom fittings, particularly through the port trim tab penetrations. There are small cracks visible by the port swim platform safety rail base. The core has been removed about through hulls located to starboard forward near the chine; coring has not been removed about the hull bottom through hulls. The existence of coring is beyond the scope of this inspection. There is an approximately 18” long x 3” high rectangular patch visible by the port aft sling mark. There is a patch on the bow on both sides, just above the boot stripe. There are repairs visible on both corner edges of the swim platform. The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The deck and superstructure are in good structural and cosmetic condition. There are small voids in the “toe rail” by the second from aft port side safety rail stanchion base. The fiberglass is damaged about the foredeck locker hinges; the hinges are stiff and corroded. The deck support located outboard of the starboard transmission is loose and missing several fasteners. The deck hardware including safety rails, mooring devices and hatches was visually inspected and most hatches and the port lights were opened and closed. Overall the deck hardware is in good condition. There is no strut for the center lazarette access hatch. The glass for the foredeck hatches is crazed. The port foredeck locker hatch’s actuator will not hold up the hatch. The structural reinforcements including the stringers and bulkheads were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The structural reinforcements appear to be in “as-built” condition. The bilge is holding minimal water; the origin of the water is beyond the scope of this survey. The captain found water in the forward head during the survey. The captain stated that the head was dry when he arrived at the vessel prior to the survey. The carpet in the passageway and forward cabin was wet, from the same source and the captain determined the water was salt water. The port cabin door latch was stuck; the door remained open and was not closed during the survey. The interior cabin spaces are neat, clean and orderly. The interior of the vessel are in good – excellent cosmetic condition. This survey is not a mould inspection. The condition of the coring, in the hull, stringers, deck, and elsewhere as applicable, is beyond the scope of this inspection.

Summary: Good

Comments: The engines and transmissions were visually inspected and tested during a sea trial. This survey is not a mechanical survey; please consult with a qualified technician for greater detail as to the condition of the machine systems. The external surfaces and peripheral components of the engines and transmissions appear good. There is surface corrosion forward and outboard on the starboard engine, including the heat exchanger, alternator and motor mount. The engine controls were tested from all stations and functioned normally. The engines were started cold and started quickly. The exhaust smoke opacity was normal. During the sea trial the top speed of the vessel was 23 knots and the top speed of the engines was 2200 rpms, per the tachometers. The exhaust system is properly arranged and installed. The engines’ engine room exhaust components are mostly wrapped with orange tape. There are rust stains at a support for the starboard exhaust tube, indicative of a leak. There was a small water leak witnessed at the starboard engine’s lazarette exhaust components while underway. There is rust on a fitting on the bottom aft edge of the starboard engine’s muffler; the port muffler was not accessible. There is corrosion on boost coolers located on both sides outboard and forward in the lazarette. The propulsion components including the propellers, propeller shafts, struts and shaft seals were visually inspected. The propellers were percussion tested and spun with a fixed object adjacent to the blades. The propeller shafts were manipulated in the struts and observed while underway. Overall the propulsion components are in satisfactory – good condition. The starboard propeller has several dings on the blade edges and one blade exhibited run out of approximately 1/3”. The starboard propeller shaft’s zinc anode has slid back and is in contact with the strut. The steering system was visually inspected and test operated. The steering system did not function normally. The steering reservoir (below flybridge sink) had no pressure, per the gauge, and the fluid level is half full (optimistically speaking). The steering wheel at the marlin tower is extremely soft and the flybridge steering wheels are firm. Both rudder seals are leaking water and there are rust stains about the rudder seals. There is an unknown yellow fluid (oil) in the center aft bilge. There was corrosion on fittings for the steering system aft of the trim tab pump. The engine room blowers were energized. There are no screens covering the engine room fans and this condition presents a personal injury risk. The generator was visually inspected, test operated and loaded. The generator functioned normally. The generator’s exhaust mixing elbow is cracked. There are stains below the generator’s raw water pump; it is difficult to access. The through hulls were visually inspected and the valves were manipulated. The through hulls are in satisfactory condition. We could not move the starboard forward through hull in the group of through hulls forward in the lazarette. One of the through hulls to port in this group of through hulls has a loose valve handle. The undersigned could not close the starboard engine’s through hull valve. The seawater systems were visually inspected and most components were tested. Overall, the seawater systems are satisfactory. There is corrosion on a metal drain manifold on the interior center of the transom. There is an unsecured sea strainer on the centerline forward in the lazarette bilge. There is water in the forward lazarette bilge. The three of the four electric bilge pumps were energized with their float switches. The forward/companionway bilge pump is inoperative. There are small holes in the discharge hose at the forward engine room bilge pump.

Summary: Good

Comments: The fuel system including the tanks, fill, vent, feed and return lines was visually inspected as installed. Where visible the fuel system components are in good condition. The condition and age of the fuel (and water) and the integrity of the tanks (fuel, water and holding) is beyond the scope of this survey. Please consider filling all tanks for a simple, practical test of their integrity. The water pressure system functioned normally. Accuracy of tank level gauges is beyond the scope of this survey; the tank one and tank two indications on the tank tender unit are questionable. The fish box drain hose is disconnected from the fish box. There are rusted hose clamps on discharge hoses at a manifold to starboard forward and outboard in the lazarette, behind the starboard engine’s exhaust components. A gasoline outboard engine and a portable fuel tank are stored to port in the lazarette. There is chafe damage on an unsupported PVC fitting for a drain manifold to port aft in the lazarette; it is chafing on the hull side exhaust discharge fitting. There is a similar unsupported PVC manifold to starboard. A water connection at the water heater is leaking. The starboard cockpit seawater hose valve is on. The bow freshwater hose valve is on. The carpet in the passageway and forward cabin was wet and there is water on the forward head sole; the source of the water is unknown. There was no hot water from the instant hot faucet of the galley sink. The forward bidet is inoperative. There is an odor about the holding tank.

33. Address the multitude of small blisters on the hull bottom as described under hull and structure comments above. The small blisters appear to be between the gelcoat and the external coatings. The larger blisters about the struts and the bow thruster were not probed, repair as necessary.
34. The following components were not tested or inspected: ship’s vacuum, inverters (briefly energized), microwave ovens, jog stick steering, dishwasher, entertainment devices (several components tested but the entire system not tested), bow raw water spigot, computer, cameras, grill, air-conditioners (due to water leak forward), water maker, fuel transfer system, oil change system, sump pumps, cockpit video monitor, monitor controllers at flybridge helm, pilothouse helm and in cockpit.

This survey sets forth the condition of the vessel and components, as specifically stated only, at the time of inspection and represents the surveyor’s honest and unbiased opinion. The submitting of this report should not be construed as a warranty or guaranty of the condition of the vessel, nor does it create any liability on the part of Christian & Company or the individual surveyor. No part of the vessel was disassembled or removed and no assumptions should be made as to the condition of concealed components. Specifics were obtained from sources available at the time of inspection and are believed correct, but are not guaranteed to be accurate.
