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 sport fishing vessel equipped with two diesel engines and a diesel generator.  The vessel was built in Australia.  The client reported that the antifouling paint is 4-plus years old.  He reported that the engines, transmissions and generator are original.  He has no knowledge of any significant events in the vessel’s history, such as submersions, collisions, fires, etc.  The vessel was inspected while hauled and afloat.  The engines were briefly test operated in the slip and the boat yard only.  The generator was tested and loaded. The client took the vessel on a sea trial prior the survey.  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

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 is based on the Soldboats.com reported sales prices and Yachtworld.com listing prices below.  Some of the vessels currently listed are outside of the US; vessels for sale on the East Coast of the US and outside of the US typically hold a different value.  The vessels that sold in Oxnard, CA each have upper and lower helm stations and are “newer” models (2002, 2003 respectively).  There is no data about the vessel that sold in the Channel Islands in June 2021.  The vessel that sold for $215,000 in Olympia, WA in September 2020 was kept in a “boat shed” and has an upper and lower helm station.  Vessels that have two helm stations sold for more than single helms.  The surveyed vessel only has the flybridge station.  The surveyed vessel exhibits deferred maintenance.  The surveyed vessel has no notable upgrades to its systems or navigational electronics.  The market continues to have an upward value movement due to the extended Covid-19 induced spike.

This survey is for the express purpose of insurance, entering a marina and/or financing.  It is not meant as a buyer’s survey.

 

 

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.  Extinguishers should be evenly spaced through the vessel for easy access in emergency situations.  Lockers that contain fire extinguishers should be properly marked.
  2. Provide federally required, approved and current distress signal flares.
  3. Maintain the EPIRB per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  4. Maintain the life raft per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  5. Input an MMSI number into the vhf to allow function of the distress mode.
  6. We strongly recommend the installation of carbon monoxide alarm and smoke alarms.
  7. The fuel fill hose for the aft fuel tank is cracked.  Replace the hose.
  8. The blue fuel hoses on the Algae-X system are cracked.  Replace the hoses or monitor and replace them as necessary.
  9. There is a clear plastic tube in use for fuel sighting.  We strongly recommend keeping the valve in the closed position when not sighting fuel.
  10. Provide terminal protection for the batteries per ABYC recommendations.

 

 SECONDARY

  1. We were unable to move the generator’s exhaust discharge through hull valve.  Service or replace components as necessary and prove the valve properly functional.
  2. Replace the missing gauge from the helm (reportedly a fuel level gauge).
  3. The HVAC seawater intake through hull valve is very stiff.  Service as necessary and prove the valve properly functional.
  4. The deck drain through hull fittings to port aft in the engine room have limited access, are corroded and have rusted valve handles.  Gain access to these through hulls and address the deficiencies appropriately.
  5. There is corrosion on a cooling pipe between the starboard engine’s aftercooler and 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 and corrosion accumulation.
  6. The handles on the cockpit shower and freshwater washdown are broken / missing.  Replace the handles.
  7. The antifouling paint is failing.  Address as necessary or desired.
