Scope of Services

 

The vessel was examined by the 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.

 SUMMARY

The vessel is a production fiberglass saltwater fisherman equipped with two gasoline outboard engines and a diesel generator.  The vessel was built in Fort Pierce, Florida.  The client reported that he purchased the vessel three weeks ago, in Charleston, Massachusetts and had it shipped to San Diego, CA (arriving the day prior to the inspection).  The client reported that the engines are reportedly original and the generator was installed one year ago by the previous owner.  He reported that the bottom paint is approximately one year old.  He reported that the navigational electronics have been upgraded – the multifunction devices were installed in 2021 by the previous owner.  The vessel was inspected while afloat.  The engines were briefly test operated in the slip only, the transmissions were touched into gear but no sea trial was performed.  The vessel is basically structurally sound and upon completion of the recommendations should be suitable for its intended purpose as a near coastal cruising and fishing vessel.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory – Good 

 

Standard form key:     We use subsection and overall ratings to summarize conditions found, based upon their appearance.  Ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.

 

 

 

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 value we have placed on the vessel is based on the Soldboats.com reported sales prices and Boattrader.com current listing prices below.  The surveyed vessel is in average condition.  The surveyed vessel is equipped with a diesel generator and a bow thruster, adding to its value.  The surveyed vessel’s navigational electronics were upgraded and installed new last year by the previous owner; none of the Soldboats.com vessels have “newer” navigational electronics.  The vessels that sold in Marco Island, FL in April 2021, Charleston, SC in March 2021, Mashpee, MA in October, 2020 and Humarock, MA in June 2020 are all equipped with bow thrusters and diesel generators.  All the Soldboats.com vessels are equipped with 350 h.p. Yamaha outboard engines.  The best comparable vessel is the one that sold for $217,500 in Lopez Island, WA in March 2021 (for current location); the vessel was purchased on the East Coast and then shipped to San Diego, CA.    The value of these vessels has continued to increase due to the Covid-19 induced demand.

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.  Extinguishers should be evenly spaced in the vessel to allow easy access in emergencies.
  2. Determine why DC power was lost when turning off the circuit breaker for the house battery charger and address appropriately.
  3. The fuel fill hose is dated 2008 for the starboard gasoline fuel tank.  We were unable to see dates on other hoses.  The industry standard fuel expectancy “rule of thumb” life expectancy for fuel hoses is 10 years.  Either replace the hoses or assure they are suitable for continued use and replace as necessary.

 

 SECONDARY

  1. There is corrosion on the generator’s raw water pump.  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, leaks or corrosion accumulation.
  2. The dogs on the forward portlights are loose, more significantly to starboard.  Address as necessary or desired.
  3. There is moisture below the aft cushion in the cabin.  Determine the cause of the moisture and address appropriately.
  4. There is mildew in the aft bilge, forward bilge and amidships bilge.  Determine the cause of the mildew (as possible) and address as desired.
  5. The reading light above the aft berth is dangling and has no bulb.  Address as desired.
  6. The HVAC sea strainer is currently pickled.  Address as desired.
