SUMMARY
The
vessel is a fiberglass sportfisherman equipped with two diesel
inboard engines. The vessel was used as a charter fishing vessel
in (removed for privacy). The vessel appears to have been heavily
used and the maintenance has been deferred. The vessel is in
rough overall cosmetic, mechanical and electrical condition.
While the vessel may be functional it does not appear to be
safe for use as a sportfishing vessel in its current condition.
Upon completion of the recommendations the vessel should be
so suited.
Overall Summary: Satisfactory – Marginal

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. Both
propeller shafts are in contact with the shaft tubes. The
vessel was inspected while hauled, the shape may change when
launched. Align the engines or otherwise modify as necessary
to eliminate the contact and repair any damage.
2. Either repair the blisters on the hull bottom or monitor
and repair as necessary. The hull bottom was dry and thus
the visibility of blisters was limited. There are several
dozen blisters per side over 2” in diameter; some are
over 3” in diameter. I suggest repairing blisters over
2” in diameter as a matter of maintenance.
3. The port navigational light’s lens is faded, replace
it.
4. Replace the cracked and deteriorated life ring.
5. Provide and install hose clamps at the starboard exhaust
hose connection to the transom, no hose clamps are currently
installed.
6. The raw water pressure hose connection to the starboard
transom interior is loose, properly make this connection.
7. All plumbing and related components were not traced, tested
or inspected. Trace and inspect and service all plumbing components
including seawater, freshwater, fuel and exhaust.
8. The steering reservoir was low on fluid and has no pressure
gauge. Refill the reservoir and provide a pressure gauge if/as
suggested by the manufacturer.
9. The aft bilge pump’s float switch is secured with
one screw, provide and install a second screw to properly
secure the float switch.
10. Provide and install a suitable cap or threaded plug for
the generator’s through hull. The generator has been
removed from the lazarette.
11. The bronze propeller shaft packing glands are not fully
inserted into the pedro hoses (flexible hose couplers), fully
insert them and properly secure them.
12. Clean the excessive soot and oil from the engine room,
service to eliminate any exhaust and oil leaks.
13. Service to eliminate the cause of the wood deterioration
above the starboard turbocharger, repair the damage as necessary.
14. Service to eliminate the cause of the metal corrosion
outboard and aft of the starboard engine, clean corroded metal,
service or replace as necessary.
15. I strongly encourage upgrading the wiring on the vessel,
particularly in the engine room and below the flybridge console.
The wiring should be better organized and secured. Dead ended
wires should either be removed or they should be proved de-energized.
16. As a portable gasoline generator is aboard the vessel
either do not use this component aboard the vessel or exercise
extreme caution with respect to hazards such as gasoline spills,
gasoline fumes, carbon monoxide and upset or movement of the
generator itself.
17. Reinstall the loose furniture in the saloon.
18. Provide and install a suitable cover for the exposed electrical
box to starboard forward in the engine room.
19. Replace the raw water supply hose to the air-conditioner
in the starboard forward engine room. The hose is cracked
near the through hull.
20. The vessel has a propane stove but I did not see the propane
bottles. If propane is aboard the vessel assure installation
is in compliance with applicable A.B.Y.C. and N.F.P.A. recommendations.
21. Remove the unused battery on the galley sole.
22. Replace the black hose, which has its reinforcement wire
penetrating its outer laminate just aft of the forward bilge
pump.
23. Remove the corrosion from the windlass solenoid and electrical
components in the anchor rode locker, service or replace components
as necessary.
24. Certify the fixed and portable fire extinguishers per
N.F.P.A. recommendations.
25. Provide current distress signal flares.
26. Assure the vessel is either registered or documented and
display the proper identification.
NOTES
1. The
port propeller shaft is secured with two nuts, the starboard
propeller shaft is secured with one nut, modify the starboard
propeller shaft to comply with applicable A.B.Y.C recommendations
and industry standards.
2. There are numerous unused hoses in the vessel, including
in the lazarette. Assure the hoses are not open to the seawater
and present no hazard to the vessel or remove the hoses.
3. The lower steering station has been removed.
4. The engines, transmissions and their related gauges and
controls were not tested. No sea trial was performed.
5. The pressed wood countertop in the head is deteriorated,
replace and clean below.
6. The galley sole appears “buckled” address as
necessary.
7. The steering shelf exhibits deterioration address appropriately.
8. The small longitudinal member between the stringers, aft
in the lazarette, exhibit deterioration address appropriately.
