Layout/interior components: The vessel is boarded into the cockpit via swim platform and transom door. Engine room access is through a cockpit bulkhead companionway door with aft deck lounge from either port or starboard stairs. Salon entry is through a sliding arcadia door with arrangement of entertainment center to port with two chairs and sofa and chair to starboard. The galley is forward and to port with dining table to starboard. The pilothouse is forward with two pedestal helm seats and settee aft. Berths are forward and down with VIP berth foremost, double berth guest staterooms to port and starboard and master stateroom aft. Crews quarters are located aft of the engine compartment with double berths.

Bilge: Mostly clean and dry

Comments: The vessel was inspected while hauled and afloat. The hull bottom was visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull bottom is in excellent condition overall with no significant audible differences where hammer sounded and no noticeable osmotic blisters. There are small paint blisters (approximately 1/8” in diameter) in the bottom paint on the port hull bottom to aft. Anti fouling paint is worn and due for renewal. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The hull sides and transom are in excellent condition overall. There is a minor gelcoat scrape on the bow stem above the boot stripe (approximately 1” x1” and minor impact dents on the swim platform stainless steel rub rail (no noticeable fiberglass stress fractures). The deck and superstructure were visually inspected and are in excellent condition overall with no stress fractures sighted. Topside finish is in excellent condition overall but is due for waxing as there is light oxidation on topside surfaces. The foredeck has a sun cushion on the coach roof that does not have nonskid surfacing on the gelcoat that poses a slip hazard when wet. 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 excellent condition. The structural reinforcements including the stringers and bulkheads were visually inspected and randomly sounded. The structural reinforcements are in sound condition with no fractures or delamination of fiberglass tabbings sighted. The bilge is generally clean and dry except for a small amount of water (approximately 1 gallon) in the crew’s quarter’s bilge; the origin of the water is beyond the scope of this survey. The interior cabin spaces are neat, clean and orderly. The interior of the vessel is in excellent cosmetic condition. This survey is not a mould inspection. The condition of the coring, in the stringers, deck, and elsewhere as applicable, is beyond the scope of this inspection.

Summary: Excellent

SUMMARY

The vessel is a production fiberglass power vessel equipped with two diesel inboard engines. Although the vessel is a 2009, this is the first sale of the vessel and reportedly comes with full manufacturer and engine warranty. The vessel is in excellent condition overall and although does have 90 hours on the engines is in “new” condition. The vessel’s hull structure is in sound condition and machinery systems in excellent working condition and is suitable for its intended purpose as a coastal pleasure yacht.

Overall Summary: Excellent

VALUES

ACTUAL CASH VALUE – $3,225,000 approx.
NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE – $4,100,000 approx
INVESTMENT – 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.

Standard Form Key: All systems are rated based upon their appearance, ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Replace the through hull hose connector elbow on the starboard aft head overboard discharge due to a corrosion spot on the elbow (located in forward companionway bilge).
2. Have an electronics technician inspect the depth sounders as they are intermittent in depth display.
3. Service the port engine’s sea water discharge pipe for corrosion/leaking at the zinc fitting.
4. Service the master stateroom’s starboard reading light to be working assuring there is not an electrical issue (I changed the bulb with a working bulb and the light was still not functional).
5. Provide current distress signal flares as required by U.S.C.G.

NOTES

1. The drive belt for the sunroof is broken. There is reportedly a replacement belt on order.
2. The actuator lifts on the VIP berth storage compartment do not support the mattress.
3. The port aft deck engine control fiberglass cover is fractured. This has reportedly been repaired since survey.
4. One courtesy light is burned out at the VIP stateroom entry.
5. Various head hardware (towel holders, glass holders) has yet to be installed and is stowed below the VIP berth.
6. The davit cable does not properly feed out. This may be due to insufficient weight on the cable or may be due to binding of a pulley wheel.
7. The windlass was not tested as this requires the engine to be running for hydraulics.
8. The water maker was not tested.

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.
