BILGE PUMPS
ELECTRIC PUMPS:
SHOWER & SUMP PUMP(S): Bilge Pump Comments:
One electric pump. Located at: Engine compartment bilge Rule 12 volt, 2000 GPH, Pump powers up when switched on manually. One pump. Rule 800 pump in sump tank-not tested. CAUTION---- Bilge pumps are high maintenance items. Bilge pumps are only the initial part of a de-watering system, which may include a strum-box, check-valves or occasionally anti-siphon loops and valves, piping, a seacock if the exit is below
waterline and a thru-hull tailpiece. This entire system must be understood and maintained. Bilge pumps may fail at any time. No warranty as to longevity can be expressed or implied at survey. Tapered wooden plugs tied to seacocks are an inexpensive safety item and highly recommended under current ABYC standards. Keeping bilges clean and free of debris is a vital part of insuring proper operation. It is also recommended that each bilge pump be periodically tested by filling the immediate bilge area with water, to ensure the pump(s) and float switch(s) are operating as designed.
GROUND TACKLE
Primary anchor:
Rocna 55 Lbs anchor with 3/8 " 250' length of raw chain, 150' 3/4" anchor line, anchor/rode shackle pins are all properly seized.
AUXILIARY SAFETY EQUIPMENT

Carbon Monoxide Detectors: NOTE: During the burning of any of fuels, Carbon Monoxide ( CO ) gas may be created due to incomplete combustion from propulsion systems, cabin heater or stove as well as nearby boats running generators. Adequate ventilation must be provided at all times while burning any of these fuels, but CO may also be drawn into the cabin through ventilation systems. This is especially true of boats running air conditioning. CO is a silent menace and kills without warning, Regular testing of installed CO detectors in any occupied spaces below decks is highly recommended.

INSPECTION RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY
PRIORITY I - SAFETY & REGULATORY RECOMMENDATIONS: (MAY BE MANDATORY)

The items listed are required by state laws or federal laws and U.S.C.G. regulations or are considered by the attending surveyor to represent unsafe operating conditions. Recommend these items be corrected before next use of vessel. U.S.C.G. REQUIRED Findings: NO Oil Pollution Placard was sighted in or near engine compartment. Recommendations: USCG regulations state vessels over 26' must have a minimum of a 5" X 8" placard posted. Install a USCG
approved ''No Discharge of Oil'' placard in or near engine space to comply with - 33 CFR 155.450 and to avoid a potential large fine.
FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT Findings: One extinguisher located in the galley is not charged. Recommendations: Have a qualified fire extinguisher technician charge or replace the extinguisher.
PRIORITY II - MAINTENANCE & STANDARDS RELATED RECOMMENDATIONS: (NOT NORMALLY MANDATORY)

These are important maintenance items sighted which in this firm's opinion should be performed. They may also include recommendations to conform to current ABYC and NFPA-302 voluntary standards which may not have been in effect or may not have been adhered to by the builder when the vessel was constructed. Some of these, if not addressed, could lead to a Priority I safety issue and/or may result in a reduced vessel market value.
OTHER OBSERVATIONS:
These are other less significant maintenance items or observations that if not addressed, could lead to more important priority issues and/or could lead to a reduced vessel market value. The cost of addressing these recommendations is generally minimal. HULL BOTTOM Findings: Early stage osmotic blistering noted (blisters are small and hard) Recommendations: Monitor condition at future haul outs and correct when blisters become larger or are easily broken. ANODES Findings: Rudder anode appears to be more then 40% wasted. Recommendations: Replace rudder anode. AIR CONDITIONING Findings: The reverse cycle heat setting in the aft unit was not functional. Recommendations: Have a qualified marine technician investigate and repair A/C unit to allow proper reverse cycle heat function.
CONDITION & VALUE REPORT SUMMARY
DECLARATION:
Rating of vessel condition was determined upon completion and review of all reported survey information including recommendations and comparing vessel to the same or similar age models. Possible vessel condition ratings are as follows: EXCELLENT ABOVE AVERAGE AVERAGE - Essentially as new or bristol in appearance. - Has had above average care with no obvious defects or limitations. - Ready for sale but needs some maintenance or repairs, updates or cleaning.
BELOW AVERAGE - Needs significant maintenance, repair or service.
Estimated fair market value was determined by cross referencing data from Soldboats.com, BUC, ABOS, NADA, Powerboat Guide and other brokerage listings or local dealers. Adjustments are then made for condition or equipment as necessary. The fair market value is for the vessel in it's current condition prior to any repairs or maintenance. Estimated replacement cost was determined using information obtained from BUC, ABOS or local dealer prices using the same or similar make and model with similar equipment options. RATING OF VESSEL CONDITION.............ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION ESTIMATED FAIR MARKET VALUE........$68,000.00 ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST.........$350,000.00 INTENDED USE OF VESSEL.......................Pleasure-Coastal and Inland Waterways SUITABILITY FOR INTENDED SERVICE: Vessel IS considered fit for it's intended use and upon correction of all listed Priority I recommendations.
NOTE: All "Priority II" and "Other Recommendations" should be thoroughly reviewed to bring vessel up to current standards and or improve the value of the vessel.
