vessel’s documentation number is xxxxxx, which will expire January 31, 2017.
ALL MAJOR HULL MEMBERS, wherever accessible, together with all surfaces, joints,
bonds, fillets, webs, bulkheads, and hard curve areas were carefully inspected with particular care
being devoted to areas of normal stress concentrations and possible bulkheads or other hard spots.
Field methods of sounding and visual sighting were used.

COMMENTS
This vessel is very unique and has many clever components. However, there are ABYC standards
in which they did not apply. The overall structural integrity of the vessel is very good. The interior
systems need to be brought up to standards, such as the seacocks, fuel, etc.
CONCLUSION
Said vessel is suitable builder’s intended purpose.
With consideration given to the condition of the vessel, optional equipment, market condition,
and the use similar boats, it is hereby my professional opinion that an insured value for said
vessel can be placed at $xxxxxxxxx. A replacement value can be set around $xxxxxxxxxx.
I would advise to request for a full disclosure from the current owner and obtaining an estimate of
all repairs before settlement.
