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.

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 average sale price of similar vessels on Soldboats.com is $171,700 and the average current listing price of similar vessels on Yachtworld.com is $252,480. Our research did not find any similar vessels with aluminum hulls; the data from Soldboats.com is comprised of fiberglass hulled vessels. The vessel is in average condition for its age but the interior of the forward cabin has been removed, the starboard transmission is removed and the starboard generator is being worked on. The data from Soldboats.com factors in the demand and value spike attributed to Covid-19.

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
- 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.
- Maintain the EPIRB per the manufacturer’s recommendations and apply the registration sticker on the EPIRB.
- Provide federally required, current and approved distress signal flares.
- Service and prove the horn properly functional.
- Install the lens on the all-around / anchor light.
- Complete the repair on the starboard transmission, reconnect the propeller shaft and prove the transmission properly functional.
- Provide a current copy of the USCG navigation rules.
- We strongly recommend the installation of carbon monoxide and smoke alarms.
- Display the registration decals on the hull sides.
- Service or replace the float switch for the amidships bilge pump as it sticks up and prove it properly functional.
- Provide a waste management plan per federal regulations.
- The interior of the forward cabin space has been removed for work. Complete the work.
- Replace the wire nut on the wires to starboard in the forward cabin space with crimped or butt connectors.
- Install the missing outlet/switch at the galley counter and prove it properly functional.
- The lower starboard batteries in the engine room are cracked. Determine the cause and address appropriately. Replace the starboard batteries and inspect and test the other batteries and replace as necessary.
- Install a locking ring on the shore power cord.
- Maintain the life raft per the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Service the high water alarm and prove it properly functional.
- The vessel has a California assigned HIN (CFZ). This indicates that vessel was “home built”. As possible determine why the vessel was not assigned a HIN by Halter and address appropriately.
