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 fiberglass motor vessel equipped with two diesel engines and a diesel generator.  The vessel was built in Taiwan.  The vessel has a cockpit, flybridge, pilothouse and three cabins.  The machine systems are reportedly original.  There was an incident approximately five years ago, reportedly caused by malfunctioning engine controls, where the bow of the vessel collided with a piling.  Repairs were performed at Delta Marine in Seattle, Washington.  The client purchased the vessel in June 2021 in Seattle, Washington.  He reported that he replaced the engine on the tender with a new engine approximately two months ago.  He reported that since purchasing the vessel, he has replaced the artwork, cushions, bed coverings and several other soft goods.  He reported that the propellers had been pulled and trued and the freshwater pump has been replaced.  He reported that circuit boards on two or three of the HVAC units have been replaced (unclear on exact number).  The vessel was inspected while afloat.  The engines were not test operated and no sea trial was performed.  The vessel is structurally and mechanically sound.  The vessel appears to be actively and well maintained.  Upon completion of the recommendations of this survey the vessel should be suitable for its intended purpose as a coastal cruising vessel.
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 Removed

Removed

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 sale prices and the yachtworld.com listing prices below. The range of value is well defined by the data. The best comparable sale is the 2005 58 Ocean Alexander that sold in November 2020 in Seattle for $940,000. That vessel had two generators but otherwise seemed to be very similar.  The value of vessels has continued to move upward due to the Covid-19 induced demand.  There is no data for the vessel that sold for $978,000 in December 2021 in South Carolina.  The vessel that sold for $940,000 in Seattle, WA is the surveyed vessel.  The vessel that sold for $885,000 in July 2021 in Anacortes, WA, while similar year and model, has fewer systems/navigational electronics, less hours on the engines (1700 hours) and is equipped with two generators; these are the three most defining differences based off Soldboats.com data between the vessels.  The appraisal of this vessel is for a set date of October 21, 2021.

This survey is for the express purpose of appraisal.  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 EPIRB per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  2. There are rust weeps on both engines’ exhausts at the weld closest to the exhaust blankets.  Determine the significance and cause of the rust weeps and address appropriately.
  3. The life raft below the port salon sofa is due for inspection.  Maintain it per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  4. Provide a secondary anchor and rode for emergencies or two anchor situations.
  5. We strongly recommend providing at least a short section of line at the bitter end of the anchor rode to allow for emergency disconnection with a knife.  Consider a bridle or a longer section of line to allow for shock absorption when anchoring.

SECONDARY

  1. There is staining on the green-striped hoses on the inboard side of the hydraulic reservoir tank.  Determine the significance and cause of the staining and address appropriately.
  2. There is soot on the starboard engine’s exhaust blanket by the turbo.  Remove the blanket, inspect, eliminate any leaks and remove soot to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.
  3. There is minimal corrosion on the port engine’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 and corrosion accumulation.
  4. The hose on the outboard side of the starboard engine that is connected to the engine’s exhaust mixing elbow has small cracks.  Either replace the hose or monitor and replace as necessary.
  5. There is red fluid below and on top of the starboard engine.  Determine the cause of the fluid and address appropriately.  Clean the area and engine to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.
