VALUES

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE

NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE

INVESTMENT
Removed for privacy

 

 

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 historical sale price of similar vessels on Soldboats.com is $37,200 and the average current listing price of similar vessels on Yachtworld.com is $57,175.  The vessel has been repowered with new engines. The comparable vessels have older engines, lowering their value.  The Parker 2510 that sold in Sarasota, FL was repowered with new engines in 2018. The Parker 2510 listed in Ft. Lauderdale has been repowered with larger engines.  All comparable vessels are on the East Coast of the United States.  The vessel’s condition and location have been factored into our valuation.

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
  2. Display the name on the vessel’s transom (or above the hailing port on the vessel’s cabin top) per federal regulations and assure the name and hailing port on the vessel match the
  3. Display the documentation number per federal
  4. The fuel hoses in the lazarette connected to the fuel filters and the fuel fill and vent hoses are rough and no dates were seen. The industry life expectancy “rule of thumb” for fuel hoses is 10 years. Assure the hoses are suitable for continued use or replace as necessary.
  5. There is heat damage on the shore power inlet (used only for the battery charger). Replace it.
  6. Provide all legally required carriage items including: at least one type IV throwable PFD, garbage and oil placards, a suitable sound signaling device and federally required, approved and current distress signal
  7. The EPIRB’s battery is expired and no registration was seen. Replace the battery and update the
  8. Provide a secondary anchor and rode for emergencies and two anchor
  9. The propellers were not installed on the engines; install the propellers prior to launching the vessel.
  10. Bring the current certificate of documentation aboard

SECONDARY

1.    A wire has been cut and is still present in the transom locker. We were unable to trace the wire out. Assure the wire is not energized or remove the wire to eliminate any liability.

2.    There is an unknown switch / circuit breaker in the starboard transom locker. Determine the purpose of the switch and properly label it.

3.    The vessel had no power during the survey. Charge the batteries and prove the DC system properly functional.
