Condition & Valuation Survey:
Pre-purchase, Insurance and Financing
- This is a comprehensive inspection, and is strongly advised when purchasing a new or used vessel. We recommend, in pre-purchase situations, that the surveyor attends the sea trial; this time aboard the vessel underway provides the surveyor with better knowledge of the vessel’s performance and equipment operation.
- This inspection covers structural integrity, as well as all on-board systems: propulsion, mechanical, electrical, tankage, and plumbing, electronics, galley, rigging, safety, and miscellaneous deck equipment, and overall level of maintenance.
- The out-of-water inspection includes assessment of the wetted surfaces, appendages (keel, rudder, skeg, struts, etc.), and drive train.
- An appraisal of the vessel’s fair market value and replacement cost is included.
- Aloft rig surveys are also available.
- We make every effort to provide the finished survey report on the following business day. Survey reports are e-mailed as a PDF file.
- Prior to survey, whether pre-purchase or insurance, vessels should be clean and organized, i.e., uncluttered. For a complete assessment of systems, batteries must be charged and shore power available.
