SUMMARY

 
The vessel is a wooden motor vessel equipped with two diesel engines and a diesel generator.   The vessel was built in New Jersey, U.S.A.  The client purchased the vessel in October 2014 and lives aboard the vessel.  The vessel is used regularly in San Diego Bay.  The vessel was inspected while hauled, the engines were not tested and no sea trial was performed.  The hull has been strengthened and modified with external stringers on both sides of the hull bottom aft.  The shape of the hull bottom was deformed, the keel was set upward (and adjacent planks down) by the weight of the vessel on the keel.  The hull bottom is “hogged”, the bottom is curved downward toward the stern.  Upon completion of the recommendations, the vessel should be suitable for its intended purpose as a near coastal and protected waters cruising vessel.

 

Overall Summary: Satisfactory

 


VALUES

 

ACTUAL CASH VALUE NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE INVESTMENT

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. Monitor the shape of the hull including the concavity about the keel, port side bend of the keel and hogging of the hull bottom and address if / as necessary. Monitor for leaks upon launching the vessel and address appropriately.
  2. Reconnect components which are disconnected for service including the starboard engine’s exhaust discharge fitting and the starboard side of the swim platform.
  3. Address the open butt seam and minor damage at a plank edge at the butt seam just forward of the starboard forward strut.
  4. Properly secure the safety rail to starboard forward on the foredeck as it is loose.
  5. Display the name and hailing port on the transom per federal regulations.
  6. Address the corroded steel reinforcement components in the aft bilge as necessary.
  7. There are numerous sistered frames throughout the vessel, repairs about the interior of the transom ring and there are many areas of the chine which are inaccessible due to shelves and components installed internally.       The client reports that many planks were replaced three or four years ago at Knight & Carver Yacht Center in San Diego. Monitor these areas and address any deficiencies.
  8. Eliminate the fluid leak at the flybridge helm and remove spilt / leaked fluid to allow detection of any future leaks.
  9. Determine the significance of the corrosion on the generator’s muffler and address appropriately.
  10. Determine the location of all through hulls while the vessel is hauled, inspect, test and prove valves. Properly cap or plug unused through hulls.
  11. Service as a result of salt crystallization and damaged wood about the propeller shaft alleyways.
  12. Inspect the shore power cable connector and shore power inlet, it was not inspected. Address any deficiencies.
  13. Wiring throughout the vessel is disorganized and not properly secured.       Overall the installation of the wiring is not in compliance with A.B.Y.C. recommendations and welding cable is in use. Upgrade to comply with A.B.Y.C. (or similar) recommendation.
  14. Properly secure the loose electrical junction box forward in the engine room.

 

  1. Assure that all propane components are installed per A.B.Y.C. recommendations and N.F.P.A. recommendations. There are loose portable propane canisters on the flybridge and loose propane canisters on the aft deck. There is a portable propane heater aboard, exercise extreme caution or remove this heater as it presents a fire hazard.
  2. The suitability for use is uncertain and the vessel should be used cautiously and proved safe, gradually increasing length of voyages.

 

SECONDARY

 

  1. Address the gross deterioration of the starboard lower rub rail.
  2. Many areas of the vessel have been treated with epoxy, monitor these areas and repair further if / as necessary.
  3. The nonskid paint is failing on the starboard side deck, address as desired.
  4. The exterior painting overall is in marginal – faulty condition, improve the cosmetics as desired.
  5. The bimini top has a loose bow, properly secure it.
  6. Much of the hull side is covered with tarps and was not inspected.
  7. There is proud plank seam visible on the interior of the vessel to starboard of the keel forward in the engine room, assure it returns its normal position upon launching or address as necessary.
  8. There is significant distortion of interior components particularly in the aft cabin, about the keel and at the chines, assure the components return to their original shape upon launching.
  9. Assure the vessel has all legally required carriage components including current distress signal flares, suitable personal flotation devices and maintain the fire extinguishers per N.F.P.A. recommendations.
