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
