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.
Clean surface corrosion from the engine’s heat exchanger
at the raw water hose connections and from isolated areas of
the engine and transmission, inspect for deterioration, service
as required and paint to arrest any further corrosion.
2. Clean corrosion from the engine and galley raw water supply
through hulls and valves, inspect for deterioration and service
if/as required.
3. As I did not separate the shore power cord from the inlet;
inspect the connections for any corrosion and/or heat damage
and service if/as required.
4. Although not required; consider having the life raft re-certified
prior to any offshore cruising.
