Regulations (CFR's). In addition the American Boat and Yacht Council

SURVEY INSPECTION COMMENTS
Comments:
• All systems and components inspected and described herein are considered
serviceable and/or functional except as indicated in the survey report and
recommendations section. Electronic devices and instruments were checked
for power up only - not for functionality. If a component is not identified in
this report, it was not inspected.
• "Priority I Recommendations" are related to Safety & Regulatory findings
and are listed in RED in the report.
• "Priority II Recommendations" are related to Maintenance & Standards
findings and are listed in BLUE in the report.
• "Other Recommendations" are findings that are relatively minor in nature
and are listed in GREEN in the report.
• It is the nature of marine vessels that deterioration, wear and accidents do
occur and as such, this report therefore represents the condition of the
vessel only at the time the survey was conducted.

HULL BOTTOM

RECOMMENDATION:

Osmotic blistering:
No evidence of blisters was found on hull bottom during bottom inspection.
Blister comments:
Blisters are an unknown factor on all boats and if not currently present, there
is no guarantee that they will not appear in the future. Blisters have a
tendency to dry out over winter storage unless severe or large. Blisters (if
any) best appear after vessel has been in water for an entire season. In
addition, the symptomatic evidence of blistering can be obscured by bottom
coatings, a dry storage period during which blisters spontaneously
depressurize, bottom laminate sanding, and other conditions or actions.
Recommend full inspection for blisters immediately after haulout and power
wash. Surveyor has no firsthand knowledge of the history of bottom
maintenance, blistering, repairs or prophylactic coatings on this vessel.
Moisture/Delamination:
Moisture meter readings were not taken due to vessel bottom wet from rain
the prior day and morning dew. Percussion hammer testing showed No
evidence of any delamination on hull bottom.
Grounding damage:
None noted.
Thru Hulls:
All thru-hull fittings were adequately sealed and bonded to hull as sighted
from exterior. Serviceable.
Transducers:
Transducers are adequately sealed and bonded to the hull.
Strainers/Scoops/Screens
All strainers/screens are well secured to hull bottom. Clear of debris.

AUXILIARY SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Carbon monoxide
detectors:
NOTE: During the burning of any of fuels, Carbon Monoxide ( CO ) gas
may be created due to incomplete combustion from propulsion systems, cabin
heater or stove as well as nearby boats running generators. Adequate
ventilation must be provided at all times while burning any of these fuels, but
CO may also be drawn into the cabin through ventilation systems. This is
especially true of boats running air conditioning. CO is a silent menace and
kills without warning, therefore this surveyor recommends installation of a
CO detector in any occupied spaces below decks.
Radar reflector:
Yes- Appears serviceable.
Deck spreader lights:
Not operational, recommend repair or replacement.
Search light:
Hand held 12 volt-not tested.

Other Observations:
The engine operated well at idle and at cruising rpm with all normal
temperatures at the heat exchanger, riser and head. When the engine RPM's
were increased the engine died. Upon inspection there was a large amount of
water in the fuel line and the fuel filter was dirty and was replaced. The fuel
system was bled, however the engine would not restart. A fuel injector fuel
line was released to further bleed the system, however proper tools were not
available to retighten the line and causing a leak in the fuel system. The
engine could not be restarted and the boat was towed back to the dock for
repairs.
Up until that point of the sea trial the engine operated normally. It is
recommend that the engine be serviced by a mechanic. It is also
recommended that the fuel system be cleaned as the boat was reported to be
on the hard for an extended time.

PRIORITY II - MAINTENANCE & STANDARDS RELATED:

These are important maintenance items sighted which in this firm's opinion should be performed. They may
also include recommendations to conform to current ABYC and NFPA-302 voluntary standards which may not
have been in effect or may not have been adhered to by the builder when the vessel was constructed. Some of
these, if not addressed, could lead to a Priority I safety issue and/or may result in a reduced vessel market

CONDITION & VALUE REPORT SUMMARY
DECLARATION:
Rating of vessel condition was determined upon completion and review of all reported survey information
including recommendations and comparing vessel to the same or similar age models. Possible vessel condition
ratings are as follows:
•
EXCELLENT
•
ABOVE AVERAGE - Has had above average care with no obvious defects or limitations.
•
AVERAGE
•
BELOW AVERAGE - Needs significant maintenance, repair or service.
- Essentially as new or bristol in appearance.
- Ready for sale but needs some maintenance or repairs, updates or cleaning.
Estimated fair market value was determined by cross referencing data from Soldboats.com, BUC, ABOS,
NADA, Powerboat Guide and other brokerage listings or local dealers. Adjustments are then made for condition
or equipment as necessary. The fair market value is for the vessel in it's current condition prior to any repairs or
maintenance.
Estimated replacement cost was determined using information obtained from BUC and local dealer prices using
the same or similar make and model with similar equipment options.
•
RATING OF VESSEL CONDITION................AVERAGE CONDITION
•
ESTIMATED FAIR MARKET VALUE...........$21,750
•
ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST............$80,000 per BUC research
•
INTENDED USE OF VESSEL..........................Pleasure-Gulf Coast.
•
SUITABILITY FOR INTENDED SERVICE: Vessel IS considered fit for it's intended use
and upon correction of all listed Priority I recommendations.
NOTE: All "Priority II" and "Other Recommendations" should be thoroughly reviewed to bring vessel up to
current standards and or improve the value of the vessel.
