Shipwright / Marine Surveyor

                                                        12.
SCOPE OF SURVEY

The purpose of this inspection and report survey is to determine, insofar as possible within
the limitations of visual and physical limitations, through non-invasive and non-destructive
means, the vessel’s condition at time of survey by reporting deficiencies against the standards
quoted in the “comments” section of this report and to present the surveyors personal opinion
as to the vessel’s condition. Certain parts of the structure, systems and equipment are
inaccessible without removing decks, tanks, bulkheads and headliners etc. or in the case of
the cored structure, drilling core samples. This would be prohibitively time consuming,
potentially destructive, costly to restore and are not within the scope of this survey. Coatings,
build-up, corrosion, marine growth, excessive gear on board or dirt may have hampered the
surveyor’s ability to inspect.
It should be noted that moisture meter readings are relative these meters are affected by
many factors other than moisture and percussive sounding interpretations are subjective.
Components requiring access with tools or by disassembly are not inspected. A vessel’s
system’s and component parts have a limited useful life and are subject to deterioration over
time. Some conditions affecting useful life include original material specifications, fabrication
techniques, environmental exposure and history of use. These systems and components parts
often give no readily detectable external indication of deterioration or failure. Cosmetic or
comfort issues may be addressed where there is a significant effect on the value of the vessel.
Electronic and electrical equipment may be tested by powering up, only when power is
already connected. A complete analysis of the vessels electrical services would require the
services of a qualified marine electrician. Only the external visual condition of wiring,
connections and panels is reported. The surveyor recommends that a qualified marine
mechanic inspect all engines, generators, v-drives, transmissions, saildrives and or stern
drives. Loose gear and accessories are neither inventoried nor inspected. This survey is an
opinion of the surveyor based on his knowledge and experience. Within these parameters the
surveyor will report on the hull, deck, vessel systems, running gear, cosmetic condition and
provide a valuation based on the foregoing. The surveyor cannot predict how the vessel, or its
systems will perform over time and therefore this report is only valid at time of survey.

The statements in this survey are the personal opinions and observations of the undersigned
surveyor and are for the consideration of the party or persons retaining him, with no guarantees
