Pre-purchase Survey
This condition and value survey
is a comprehensive survey done
prior
to the purchase of a vessel.
The on board portion of the
survey will
take 6-8 hours on a 35' to 45'
vessel depending on the number
of
systems on the vessel. It is
advised that the buyer be
present during
the inspection. The inspection
covers the structural integrity,
electrical,
mechanical, propulsion, fuel
and plumbing systems. Typically
the
vessel is hauled out to examine
the running gear and hull
condition. A
sea trial is conducted
assessing the performance of
the vessel.
Survey for Vessel Insurance
This survey is for the
insurance company to determine
the condition,
value and acceptable risk of
the vessel. This survey is
similar to the
Pre-purchase survey but may or
may not require a haul out. A
sea trial
is usually not required either.
Vessel Appraisal Report
This report looks at the
general condition of the vessel
and assesses
the current market value for
financing, estate settlements,
donations
etc.
Damage Survey
This survey assesses the extent
of damage, recommends repairs,
estimates repairs and reports
on probable cause.
Insurance companies hire
surveyors to report on claims.
The
surveyor should be unbiased but
remember who is paying him.
If you have a claim and feel
that the report was incorrect
it may
be in your best interest to
hire your own surveyor. Keep
in
mind that our report will be
unbiased.
Corrosion Survey
This survey determines the
level of protection against
galvanic
corrosion for the thru-hulls,
engine and other equipment. Stray
current
can also be detected by this
survey.
