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 $548,172 and the average current listing price of similar vessels on Yachtworld.com is $1,224,097.  The vessel has undergone a major refit and is in excellent condition cosmetically with an upgraded interior and a major electronics package upgrade.  The Broward and Burger listed on Yachtworld.com are both aluminum hulled boats.  The Westship, Palmer Johnson and Admiral Marine Westport have all had relatively recent refits.  The Palmer Johnson listing states that it had an extensive mechanical / systems refit in 2015.  The Admiral Marine Westport listing states that it had a refit and upgrades in 2015-2016 and further upgrades and refits in 2017.  The Westship’s listing states that its last refit was done in 2019.  The vessel is in excellent condition for its age.  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

  1. Install the registration sticker on the EPIRB.
  2. The name and hailing port on the transom have been changed and no longer match the Certificate of Documentation.  Bring aboard the current certificate of documentation per federal regulations and assure the name and hailing port match the document.  The client reported that this was brought aboard shortly after the survey.

 

 SECONDARY

  1. There is rust weeping on a hose fitting above the waste tank aft of the engine room.  Determine the source of the weep, eliminate the cause, replace components as necessary and clean the hoses to allow detection of future weeps or leaks.  The client reported that this work has been completed since the survey.
  2. The smaller blue flexible hose inboard forward of the port engine and the blue hose aft on the port engine are cracked.  Either replace the hoses or monitor and replace as necessary.  The client reported that these hoses have been replaced since the survey.
  3. There is miscellaneous work still underway. Conclude the work and prove any systems under maintenance properly functional.  The client reported that the work has been completed since the survey.
  4. There is moisture and weep stains around the inboard transducer aft below the port head.  Determine the source of the moisture (as possible), eliminate the source, and clean the area to allow detection of any future weeps or leaks.  The client reported that  this work has been completed.
  5. There are clear sight tubes forward in the engine room with a cage on one side. We recommend keeping the valves closed when not sighting fuel.

 

This survey sets forth the condition of the vessel and components, as specifically stated only, at the time of inspection and represents the surveyor’s honest and unbiased opinion.  No part of the vessel was disassembled or removed and no assumptions should be made as to the condition of concealed components.  Specifics were obtained from sources available at the time of inspection and are believed correct, but are not guaranteed to be accurate.

 

I/we certify that, to the best of my/our knowledge and belief:

 

The statements of fact contained in this report are true and correct.

I/we have no present or prospective interest in the vessel that is the subject of this report, and I/we have no personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved.  My/our compensation is not contingent upon the reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate, the attainment of a stipulated result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event.  I/we have made a personal inspection of the vessel that is the subject of this report.  This report should be considered as an entire document.  No single section is meant to be used except as part of the whole.  This report is submitted without prejudice and for the benefit of whom it may concern.  This report does not constitute a warranty, either expressed, or implied, nor does it warrant the future condition of the vessel. It is a statement of the condition of the vessel at the time of survey only.   The submitting of this report creates no liability on the part of Christian & Company or the individual surveyor.  This survey report is not intended for use as a “buyer’s survey”.
