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 was built in Bayou La Batre, Alabama originally as a shrimp boat.  The client purchased the vessel in 2009 and believes that the engine is approximately 20 years old.  The engine has had various service including the head serviced and one cylinder liner kit replaced in August of 2020.  Another cylinder liner kit was replaced.  The Isuzu generator came with the boat at the time of his purchase and he installed the Mitsubishi generator 4 – 5 years ago.  The vessel is currently used for albacore fishing on lines, using out riggers and hydraulic pullers.  The client stated that the vessel originally had a fuel tank aft, it had been converted to ballast before he purchased the vessel.  This tank has deficiencies which are going to be addressed during this yard period.  He intends to repair and reframe the tank, re-plate the bottom and install baffles.  He also intends to repair spots of corrosion on the steel pipe rigging structure above the deck, perform an ultrasound inspection on the hull bottom and paint the bottom while the vessel is hauled.  The vessel was inspected while hauled.  None of the machine systems were tested and no sea trial was performed.  Various electrical components were tested.  The vessel exhibits normal signs of age and maintenance for a vessel of this vintage and material.  There are many doublers on the hull bottom.  There are areas of rust and corrosion accumulated internally.  The client is well acquainted with the vessel and its systems and fishes the vessel actively.  The external surfaces and peripheral components of the machine systems are good.  The vessel appears suited for its intended purpose as a commercial 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 reported sale price from soldboats.com and the listing prices from various websites.  We also researched our prior survey from April 2018, and the values on that survey.  The value of this type of vessel is often dependent on the catch, fishery and economy but we value the vessel as possible without consideration of the value of the business.  The location and condition of the vessel are considered.

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. Service and prove the anchor light properly functional or provide a temporary replacement.  The client stated that he does not anchor.
  2. Ready the anchor and rode for emergency deployment, it is not currently ready to be deployed.  If the vessel is to be anchored a secondary anchor and rode should be brought aboard for use in emergency situations.
  3. There are wire nuts used in various locations for electrical connections including near the base of the main support for the rigging and in the pilothouse.  Utilize butt connectors or terminal boards. Comply with ABYC recommendations.
  4. Replace wing nuts used on battery terminals with steel nuts and lock washers.  Comply with ABYC recommendations.
  5. Assure that the cables attached to batteries are of suitable size, some appeared to be questionable.
  6. Service and prove the smoke alarms properly functional, we encourage the installation of interconnected smoke alarms.
  7. The ladder into the lazarette is badly corroded and the ladder to the top of the superstructure has corrosion, the client stated it is his intention to address these in the near future.  Service and prove these ladders suitable and safe for continued use.
  8. Adjust the loose chain for the autopilot drive.
  9. Lubricate the small steering chain in the lazarette.
  10. Service and prove the two through hull valves forward in the engine room functional, they were stiff and were not moved.
  11. One terminal on the battery to port in the engine room has melted metal, the client stated that this was caused from a loose connection.  Clean up and assure the connection is proper or replace the battery.
  12. A battery terminal to port forward in the engine room had a loose connection.  Properly secure this connection.
  13. Provide and install a face plate on the electrical outlet forward on the engine room bulkhead.  Assure that all electrical connection boxes are covered, including one below the pilothouse console.

SECONDARY

  1. Address corrosion on the steel pipe superstructure for the fishing rigging, inspect the entire assembly and service as necessary.
  2. The mount for the starboard radar is corroded, address appropriately.
  3. The lid for the storage box on the cabin top is not well secure, client stated it is properly secured while underway.
  4. The steel supports for the antennas are corroded and the wiring in this area is disorganized.  Address appropriately.
  5. Remove the corrosion by products in the lazarette bilge, clean and paint, address any water leaks in this area which are causing corrosion.  Address any thin metal areas appropriately.
  6. There is deterioration at the bottom of several of the vertical supports in the fish hold, some have been replaced.  Monitor and address this condition appropriately.
  7. There is oil and water below the engine, service to eliminate the source of the fluids and clean the bilge to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks and to prevent discharge of oil.
  8. Eliminate the freshwater leak near the freshwater filter, forward of the engine room.
  9. There is corrosion and a weep at the condenser pump and the pump is corroded, maintain or address as appropriate.
  10.  Complete the intended work on the aft ballast tank.
  11.  Address the corrosion on the tube across the bottom center of the interior of the transom.
