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 $128,333 and the average current listing price on BoatTrader.com and midcoastyacht.com is $126,180.  The vessel is in average condition for its age and has a relatively new engine and transmission.  We did not include the Stanley Downeast vessels in our average as they skew the average much higher.

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. The current documentation is not aboard.  Bring it aboard.
  3. There is no MMSI number in either vhf devices, and no GPS information is  displayed.  Enter the GPS and MMSI information to allow the distress mode to function properly.
  4. There is a smaller wire below a larger wire on a terminal on the forward battery.   Organize the wire so the smaller wire is on top per ABYC recommendations.
  5. The fuel hoses are not labeled USCG type and no dates were seen.  The previous survey lists the fuel hoses as being new 3.5 year ago, however, these hose are not labeled as USCG type.  Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use.

SECONDARY

  1. The flexible hose for water discharge on the engine exhaust has rub damage on top.  Determine the significance of the rub damage and either replace the hose and install a way to prevent future damage or monitor and replace as necessary.
  2. The vessel is currently being worked on and the nonskid has been removed from the aft deck.   The client reported that they will be applying new nonskid in the immediate future.  Apply the nonskid.
  3. We could not move the engine seawater through hull valve.  Service or replace the valve and prove it properly functional.
  4. The vessel was inspected while afloat and with its port side to the dock.  The below water propulsion components were not inspected and the starboard side was not inspected.  Inspect these areas and components and address any deficiencies that may be found.

 

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.  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.

 

I/we certify that, to the best of my/our knowledge and belief:

 

The statements of fact contained in this report are true and correct. The reported analyses, opinions, and conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and limiting conditions, and are my/our personal, unbiased professional analyses, opinions, and conclusions. I/we have no present or prospective interest in the vessel that is the subject of this report, and I/we have no personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved.  My/our compensation is not contingent upon the reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate, the attainment of a stipulated result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event.  I/we have made a personal inspection of the vessel that is the subject of this report.  This report should be considered as an entire document.  No single section is meant to be used except as part of the whole.  This report is submitted without prejudice and for the benefit of whom it may concern.  This report does not constitute a warranty, either expressed, or implied, nor does it warrant the future condition of the vessel. It is a statement of the condition of the vessel at the time of survey only.   The submitting of this report creates no liability on the part of Christian & Company or the individual surveyor.  This survey report is not intended for use as a “buyer’s survey”.
