VALUES

ACTUAL CASH VALUE	NEW REPLACEMENT VALUE	INVESTMENT
$28,000 - $30,000	$95,000	N/A

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. The actual cash value is best determined by a thorough market search to determine what vessels are available on the market, followed by negotiations between the interested parties. 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.

C & V Form Key: All systems are rated based upon their appearance, ratings include: Not examined, Not applicable, Faulty, Marginal, Satisfactory, Good, Excellent.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Replace the starboard forward shroud as it exhibits damaged/loose wires at the swage.
2. Install double hose clamps on all seawater carrying hoses when possible.
3. Re-caulk the standing rigging chain plates to eliminate leaks at the deck penetrations.
4. Monitor the engine’s raw water pump for leaks, servicing if/as required.
5. Consult with the manufacturer of the head regarding use of anti-siphon loops and install if/as recommended.
6. Certify the portable fire extinguishers per N.F.P.A. recommendations and provide three (3) distress signal flares with current certification.
