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 |
| According to documentation aboard the vessel it was originally built in 1934 in Norway by Henik Lagen. Cloudia Adventures LLC performed a major refit of the vessel which began in 2009 and extended for 7 ½ years. The work was guided by Sharp Design (naval architects). The vessel was “gutted” and rebuilt, using new wires, new fuel tanks and a new generator. The masts were serviced and the standing rigging was replaced. The superstructure was rebuilt. The undersigned surveyor inspected the vessel several times during the process. This survey was conducted while the vessel was hauled, numerous electrical components were tested but the engine and generator were not tested. The vessel appears to be structurally sound and suitable for its intended purpose as a passenger carrying vessel. The vessel has a Certificate of Inspection for 12 passengers and a route of lakes, bays, sounds and limited coast wise which expires on June 17, 2021. The U.S. Coast Guard is scheduled to perform their 5 year inspection on May 5th, 2021. |
| Overall Summary: 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 of the vessel is based on the data below and our opinion of the value of this project, based on the extent of the rebuild and the successful completion, including obtaining a Certificate of Inspection. The value assumes successful renew of the COI. The vessel is unique and very few valid comparables are available; the values below show the range of value for antique and classic vessels, inspected vessels and restored vessels. The value given to this vessel is our interpretation of where this vessel’s value should be in this large range.

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
- The fixed fire extinguisher’s pressure gauge is low, the owner stated a new bottle has been ordered. Install the new bottle per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- We could not open the aft deck access hatch and inspect the generator. Free up and prove the hatch functional. Access and inspect the generator and any other components in this area and address deficiencies.
- Replace wing nuts used on the battery to port in the engine room. Use steel nuts and lock washer. Comply with ABYC recommendations.
- We did not move the generator’s seawater intake through hull valve. Access is difficult. Prove the valve properly functional. Consider modification to allow more easy access and movement of the valve.
