GENERAL INFORMATION

OPENING REMARKS & VESSEL SPECIFICS

This Is To Certify that the undersigned Marine Surveyor acting on behalf of Sun

Coast Marine Surveying & Consulting, LLC inspected the referenced the single

diesel powered fiberglass motor vessel on the dates specified.

Purpose of Survey The survey was made at the request of the named client and for his/her account, in

order to ascertain the vessel's general condition and valuation for (pre-purchase)consideration.

Attending Surveyor: Attending Surveyor Representing Buyers Interest: J. Chet Stephens SA.

Circumstances of Survey: The vessel was inspected while afloat in its berth and later hauled for an inspection

of the waterline hull, appendages and machinery. All accessible compartments

were entered, but do to paneling, liner, tanks, and installed equipment only about

20 percent of the hulls interior surface could be observed. The specific materials

and lay up schedule for the fiberglass moldings could not be determined with the

non-destructive techniques available for inspection. A formal sea trial was

performed. Machinery and equipment were inspected while operating unless

specifically noted. Electrical power was available and used during the inspection.

The deck and superstructure were examined visually and by way of ransom

percussion testing, random moisture meter readings, and thermal imaging. Thebelow draw waterline hull and appendages were examined visually and by of

random percussion testing and thermal imaging were applicable. Moisture meter

readings were not taken because of the presence of metallic based antifouling paint

and limited drying time.

NOTE: Ownership, HIN and Official numbers from documents. Numbers verified

on hull. All specifications included in report are from official documents or sources

such as USCG Documentation, state registration, manufacturer's data or other

reference materials and were not measured during the inspection.

Surveyor Qualifications: The surveyor is a member of SAMS (Society of

Accredited Marine Surveyors), and a Certified

Standards Technician with ABYC (AmericanBoat and Yacht Council)

Intended use: Recreational.

EXTERIOR HULL, DECK & BOTTOM INSPECTION

DESIGN CHARATERISTICS

Standard

Standard Manufactures Model

HULL: Displacement type hull with moderately raked bow, vertical withincreasing flare forward, straight reverse sheer and square stern with drive

platform. The bottom is a deep V design, steered with a single rudder.

DECK(S) & SUPERSTRUCTURE: Single level deck with raised foredeck and

dual level recessed cabin house superstructure with fly bridge and bimini top.

WATERTIGHT INTEGRITY: A single water tight compartment divided into

separate cabins by apparently non-watertight bulkheads and a overboard self

draining anchor locker at the fore peak. The hatches and portholes opening to the

exterior hull, weather decks, and cockpit were apparently water tight types (ABYC

Standards H-3) except for the companionway, cockpit locker hatches, and coach

roof windows which were apparently water tight. The companionway wasequipped with a sill instead of a bridge deck and the cockpit was a self draining

type via scuppers located at the aft outboard corners of the aft deck.

HULL, DECK & SUPERSTRUCTURE

Hull Deck &

Superstructure:

Conventional fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) moldings with unknown core

material, white gel coat exterior shell below the waterline and white gel coat above

the waterline with bulkheads grafted to the hull with FRP laminates. Deck has

unknown core with white exterior gel coat surfaces and molded in anti-skid texture

in tread areas on the flybridge and teak deck surfaces on the main deck. Hull-deck

joint is a shoe box design sealed with an elastomeric type compound and FRP

tabbing where observed. Joint protection provided by an external varnished teak

rub rail with a second rail of molded FRP with stainless steel striker molding andstainless steel fasteners just above the waterline. (See Findings &

Recommendations Priority II)

Structural Members: Transverse longitudinal and athwartship framing system comprised of FRP

encapsulated longitudinal box stringers and frames of an unknown core material.

Stringers measuring approximately 3.5 inches in width and 10 inches in height.

Both stringers and frames laminated to the hulls interior along with full and partial

teak bulkheads and plywood floors grafted to the hull with FRP laminates and full

and partial plywood bulkheads secured with mechanical fasteners.


6/33



Interior Construction: Teak bulkheads and doors, FRP head and hull liner sections, pre molded FRP liner

sections. Formica type counter tops, teak and holly cabin sole.

Bottom Paint: (See Findings & Recommendations Priority II)

Blister Comments: Blisters are an unknown factor on all boats and if not currently present, there is no

guarantee that they will not appear in the future. Blisters have a tendency to dry

out over winter storage unless severe or large. Blisters (if any) best appear after

vessel has been in water for an entire season. In addition, the symptomatic

evidence of blistering can be obscured by bottom coatings, a dry storage period

during which blisters spontaneously depressurize, bottom laminate sanding, and other conditions or actions. Recommend full inspection for blisters immediately

after haul-out and power wash. Surveyor has no firsthand knowledge of the history

of bottom maintenance, blistering, repairs or prophylactic coatings on this vessel.

Transom: Conventional transom, Well secured, no cracks or defects sighted. Moisture

readings were relatively Dry. No delamination when checked with a percussion

hammer.

BELOW DRAW WATERLINE SKIN FITTINGS, MACHINERY & HARDWARE

Below DWL Thru Hull

Fittings:

Bronze fittings appear to be in serviceable condition with limited wastage.

Transducer(s): Bronze type. Intact. (See Findings & Recommendations Priority II)

Faring Block(s): Wood fairing block for depth and seed transducer.

Sea Valves / Sea Cock

Type:

Bronze sea cocks with mounting flanges.

Sea Strainers: Bronze Internal strainer(s) installed. Strainers were inspected visually for cracks orany evidence of blockage. Strainers were not opened and inspected due to

destructive testing restrictions. It is recommend the buyer open and inspect each

strainer prior to taking delivery.

Bow/Stern Thruster: Vetus bow and stern thruster each with six bladed props. All blades intact.

Note: This company suggests the sea cock/ sea valves be serviced according to the

manufactures recommendations as a preventative measure upon purchasing a used

vessel and thereafter as recommended by the sea cock/ sea valve manufacturer or

more frequently as a part of the vessel's regular maintenance program. We also

strongly recommend that one of vessel was left unattended that all below waterline

sea valves be closed with the exception of scuppers, bilge pump discharge, or other

valves that are required to be in the open position to prevent flooding of the vessel

during inclement weather. This provides an extra measure of safety for the vesselas well as the added benefit of familiarizing the crew with safety valve locations

and to exercise the valves to prevent seizure.

Moreover, if not already done so, it is strongly suggested that properly sized

tapered wooden plugs be kept in the vicinity of each sea cock/sea valve/thru hull to

be used as a plugging device in the case of an emergency. Finally, when renewing

the vessels protective coatings, it must be kept in mind that antifouling paints

containing copper or other metals must not be applied to metal fittings and/or

machinery without first having an insulated coating such as underwater metal

primer or epoxy barrier coat applied. Failure to do so can result in harmful

galvanic corrosion damage to the fittings and/or machinery.

Condition & Comments: In apparent serviceable condition except as noted in the Findings &Recommendations.

CATHODIC PROTECTION

Bonding System: The bonding system was found to be using an individual green insulated bonding

wire and shaft bushings at the prop shafts. Appeared to be serviceable were sighted

except as indicated otherwise in this report. (See Findings & Recommendations

Priority II)

Lighting Protection: None, but not normally found on boats of this type.

Note: Few boats are actually wired for lightning protection from the manufacture.

There is no known way to ensure complete protection for personnel and equipment

from a lightning strike. However, we suggest that any owner review the

information at www.marinelightining.com and ABYC TE_4.

Additional Remarks: A separate bonding system survey was not performed, and a corrosion meter was

not used to establish the level of protection. If a more detailed analysis is

required, a complete separate bonding system survey is recommended.


12/33



Note: A vessels bonding system should be checked as part of the vessel's regular

maintenance program. Each bonding wire should be checked regularly for

corrosion, and its connection should be checked for connectivity. Resistance

should be less than one (1) Ohm.

Direct Current System(s)

Type:

The vessel was equipped with a single 12VDc system consisting of two battery

banks. (4) 6VDc wet cell lead acid batteries wired in series to create 12VDc are

located in the engine compartment that serve as the vessel house battery bank and

are in plastic battery boxes with lids. There is (1) Group 31 battery that services as

the engine start battery, windless and thrusters also enclosed ina battery box with

lid. One Guest rotary switch is located in the engine compartment. Where visible

the vessel was wired with multi stranded copper conductors with plastic type

insulation. Much of the wire did not appear to have been modified from its factoryinstallation. (but some unused wiring and poorly supported wiring was observed in

various areas.) Furthermore, were observed, no indications of overheating

conductor insulation was observed. The terminals were splices could be seen,

consisted of ring terminals, terminal plugs, spade and blade terminals, fork

terminals, common butt splices, and waterproof butt splices unless otherwise noted

in Findings & Recommendations. Battery charging was accomplished by 12 VDc

unknown amperage alternator on the engine, and shore power by the Freedom

Marine 20 inverter/ battery charger that powered up. The main DC panel board is

located on the starboard side wall of the main salon next to the pilothouse. All
