galley area forward of head, dinette starboard and berth
forward.
Comments:
The vessel was inspected while hauled and afloat. The
hull bottom was visually inspected and randomly sounded.
The hull bottom is in good structural condition. The age
of the anti-fouling paint is unknown, it exhibited good
coverage. The hull sides and transom were visually inspected
and randomly sounded as possible while vessel was hauled.
The hull sides and transom are in good structural and
cosmetic condition. Prior to the sea trial there were
scrapes visible on the port hull side, forward of amidships,
approximately 1’ above the waterline. While docking
the vessel the same area of the vessel contacted the dock,
rubber transfer was visible and circular stress cracks
emanate from the area of rubber transfer. This area is
not accessible internally. There are minor anchor dings
at the bow. There is no visible documentation number.
A vent cover is broken off of a port hull side fitting,
aft of amidships. There is a visible “paint run”
on the bottom of the boot stripe to port on the transom.
There is paint “splatter” on the bottom of
the portside of the swim platform. There is a crack on
the starboard aft corner of the swim platform, visible
from below. The deck and superstructure were visible inspected,
randomly sounded and randomly tested with a moisture meter.
The deck and superstructure are in good structural and
cosmetic condition. The deck hardware including safety
rails, mooring devices and hatches was visually inspected
and the hatches were opened and closed. Overall the deck
hardware appears good. There is a filler cushion missing,
it is designed to go between the portside helm area bench
seat and the superstructure. The structural reinforcements
including the longitudinal stringers and bulkheads were
visually inspected, randomly sounded and randomly tested
with a moisture meter. The structural reinforcements are
in "as-built" condition. The condition of coring
material, in the stringers, deck, and elsewhere as applicable,
is beyond the scope of this survey. The fiberglass tabbing
has detached at the forward dinette bench seat’s
aft hull side connection. There is black soot visible
to starboard aft in the engine room. There is unusual
odor in the engine room; the source is beyond the scope
this survey.
Summary: Good

Comments:
The engines, transmissions and generator were visually
inspected and tested during a sea trial. This survey is
not a mechanical survey, the client’s representative
is a mechanic and is familiar with the benefits of a mechanical
survey. The generator is installed between the engines;
accessibility to the engines is limited. The external
surfaces and peripheral components of the engines and
transmissions appear satisfactory – good. There
is corrosion aft on the port engine and on the port transmission.
There is a leak from the bait tank’s plumbing to
port aft, overhead in the engine room. The engines were
warm upon arrival; the broker stated that he had not run
the engines that morning. No cold start was observed.
During the sea trial the engines appeared to run normally,
except for an apparent turbo-boost delay. The rpms would
increase, moments after the throttles were increased.
The exhaust smoke opacity is higher than normal; the cause
of this condition is beyond the scope of this survey.
Wide open throttle was approximately 2810 per engine and
the top speed was approximately 31.5 knots. There is a
low speed rattle; it is likely from the transmissions,
though its source is beyond the scope of this survey.
The engine controls were test operated and functioned
normally. The exhaust system was visually inspected and
appears satisfactory. Rust stains below the port engine’s
exhaust hose are indicative of a leak. The odor and soot
visible to starboard in the engine room are also indicative
of leaks. The propulsion components including the propellers,
propeller shafts, struts and shaft seals were visually
inspected. The propellers were percussion tested and spun
with a fixed object adjacent to the blades and the propeller
shafts were observed underway. Overall the propulsion
components appear satisfactory – good. There was
a small ding on one of the port propeller blades; Mr.
(removed for privacy) hammered it somewhat smooth while
the vessel was hauled. The transmission oil pressure gauges
were pegged during the sea trial. There is an unknown
noise at the helm. The engine temp is higher to port;
the cause of this condition is beyond this survey. The
steering system was visually inspected and tested, it
functioned normally. The blowers were energized. The generator
was visually inspected as possible, test operated and
loaded. The generator functioned normally. There appears
to be a water leak at the generator’s heat exchanger.
Mr. (removed for privacy) noticed that the generator was
not equipped with an air box, for the air intake. The
through hulls and related components were visually inspected,
scratched and tapped externally and most of the valves
were manipulated. Initially all of the valves were stiff,
most were freed up. The seawater systems were visually
inspected and most components were tested. Overall the
seawater systems appear satisfactory. Many seawater hoses
exhibit external cracks, including the raw water cooling
supply hoses to the engines. The aft bilge pump was energized
with its float switch, the mid bilge pump was energized
with its manual switch; the forward bilge pump was not
energized. There is minor pitting on the trim tabs.
Summary:
Satisfactory – Good
TANKAGE
Tanks:
Two (2) aluminum tanks, in cockpit bilge, 172 gallons
each
Fill
& vent: Flexible hoses
Feed
& return: Racor fuel/water separator filters, flexible
fuel grade hoses, manifold aft in engine room
Water:
Plastic tank in center engine room bilge, 60 gallon capacity
*
Holding:
Plastic tank to port in engine room
Comments:
The fuel system including the tanks, fill, vent, feed
and return lines was visually inspected as installed.
Overall the fuel system appears good. Both fuel fill hoses
are lying on top of plywood bulkheads, cut out for their
penetration. No chafe protection is used. The condition
and age of the fuel (water) and the integrity of the tanks
(fuel, water and holding) is beyond the scope of this
survey. Please consider filling all of the tanks for a
simple, practical test of their integrity. A single tank
was in use upon our arrival, the reason for this valve
position is beyond the scope of this survey. The water
pressure system functioned normally.
Summary:
Good
ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
AC
system: 2 – 30A/125V inlets to starboard in cockpit,
110 volt system, shore power cord
DC
system: 3 – 12V batteries outboard of starboard
engine, 2 – 12V batteries outboard of port engine,
3 battery switches under steps to cabin, 12 volt system
Wiring:
Multi stranded wires
Circuit
protection: GFCI outlets, AC main circuit breakers to
starboard forward in cockpit, DC circuit breakers by helm,
master DC panel below steps to cabin
Comments:
The electrical system including the shore power cord,
shore power inlets, batteries, wiring, circuitry components
and circuit protection equipment was visually inspected
and most components were test operated. Overall the electrical
system appears good. The condition of the batteries is
beyond the scope of this survey. The fresh water “II”
pump is inoperative. A courtesy light to port of the helm
is missing a lens. The center windshield washer is weak.
The waste discharge pump is inoperative. The shower sump
pump is inoperative. There is no power to the television.
The raw water pump is inoperative and activating it trips
its circuit breaker. The autopilot display has damage.
The following components were not tested: oil change pump,
automatic function of the bilge pump forward in the engine
room, function of the forward bilge pump, engine air pre-heaters,
and CD changer.
Summary:
Good

Flotation devices appear satisfactory for near coastal
use. The horn is functional. Distress signal flares are
aboard but the expiration dates have passed. The navigational
and anchor lights are properly arranged and installed;
the aft bulb of the combination steaming/anchor light
is inoperative. The ground tackle including the anchor
and rode was visually inspected as installed. The entire
length of the rode was not inspected and should be so
inspected prior to use. The carbon monoxide and smoke
alarms were tested with their test buttons. The handheld
spotlight was not tested.
