The
marine survey is a written report providing the dimensions, gear, hull
structure, equipment, propulsion machinery, and the basic lay-out and
condition of the vessel. The physical and visual examination consists
inspecting the hull, fittings, gear, machinery and equipment to ascertain
all of these items are in sea worthy condition. A marine survey also
consists of inspecting fresh water lines, sinks, faucets, tanks(fuel, water,
waste) fuel lines, thru-hull fittings, raw water hoses, batteries,
electrical 12 - volt and 110-volt systems, air conditioning units and pumps,
steering, vents, blowers, cabin windows, galley equipment, navigational
equipment, lights and railing to make sure all are in good condition.
Included in the survey is a list of "Recommendations" and any "Damage
Observed" along with color photographs inside and out of the vessel. This
information is then compiled to estimate a current market value |
