CONDITION AND VALUE SURVEYS

All pre-purchase surveys are priced to include a thorough onboard inspection scrutinizing the vessel’s construction and structural integrity with percussion sounding and moisture analysis; identify and operate all systems to ensure functionality and proper installation; an out-of-the-water inspection of the exterior hull, bottom, and underwater metals and running gear; sea trial with inspection of machinery and machinery spaces while underway. Following the inspection, a formal typed report will be prepared with findings and recommendations, pictures, and fair market value of the vessel.
