INTRODUCTION Acting at the request of XXXXXX the attending surveyor did go on board the “SAMPLE” on July xx, 200x from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm where an ''in‐the‐water‐survey and out of water survey'' was conducted at xxxxxx in xxxxx, Ontario. The Hull Identification Number is xxxxxxxx . A sea trial was not performed. The reason for the survey was to ascertain the physical condition and value of the vessel. Moisture readings taken and referenced in the report were taken with a Skipper Plus meter. DC power was used to check operation of the electrical systems specified in this report only. AC power was not available. No reference or information should be construed to indicate evaluation of the internal condition of the engines or the propulsion system's operating capacity. Electronic equipment was checked for ''power up'' only. This vessel was surveyed without removals of any parts, including fittings, tacked carpet, screwed or nailed boards, anchors and chain, fixed partitions, instruments, clothing, spare parts and miscellaneous materials in the bilges and lockers, or other fixed or semi‐fixed items. Locked compartments or otherwise inaccessible areas also preclude inspection. The owner is advised to open up all such areas for further inspection. Further, no determination of stability characteristics or inherent structural integrity has been made and no opinion is expressed with respect thereto. This survey report represents the condition of the vessel on the above date(s), and is the unbiased opinion of the undersigned, but it is not to be considered an inventory or a warranty either specified or implied. TRANSPORT CANADA “CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS FOR SMALL VESSELS, TP1332e”, AND TRANSPORT CANADA “SAFE BOATING GUIDE “TP 511E (01/2009), AND THE VOLUNTARY STANDARDS AND RECOMMENDED PRACTICES DEVELOPED BY THE AMERICAN BOAT AND YACHT COUNCIL (ABYC) HAVE BEEN USED AS GUIDELINES IN THE CONDUCT OF THIS SURVEY. Findings reflect conditions observed AT THE TIME OF SURVEY. HIN xxxxxxx “SAMPLE” surveyed by Ian M. White 5 of 30 1.1.
DEFINITION OF TERMS: The following terms and words have the following meanings as used in this Report of survey: APPEARS: Indicates that a very close inspection of the particular system, component or item was not possible due to constraints imposed upon the surveyor (e.g. no power available, inability to remove panels, or requirements not to conduct destructive tests). FIT FOR INTENDED SERVICE: Service for which it was designed and manufactured by the naval architect and/or builder. FIT FOR INTENDED USE: Use which is intended by Survey Purchaser (present or prospective owner). ADEQUATE: Sufficient for a specific requirement.
POWERS UP: Power was applied only. This does not refer to the operation of any system or component unless specifically indicated. EXCELLENT CONDITION: New or like new. GOOD CONDITION: Nearly new, with only minor cosmetic or structural discrepancies noted.
FAIR CONDITION: Denotes that system, component or item is functional as is with minor repairs. POOR CONDITION: Unusable as is. Requires repairs or replacement of system, component or item to be considered functional. USE OF *: Use of * in the body of this report will indicate that a finding will be listed in the ''Findings and Recommendations'' section pertaining to the * item. “SAMPLE” surveyed by Ian M. White 6 of 30 1.2.
VESSEL DESCRIPTION The Carver 28 Voyager is a Flybridge Sedan cruiser. The vessel is powered by twin V‐8 gasoline motors with v drives. She has an ample foredeck, a low profile cabin forward and a raised deck house and an aft cockpit. Below decks she has a forward cabin with double berth and a vanity sink. Aft to port is a helm station and a convertible dinette. To starboard is a hanging locker and a settee with storage and drawers under. Aft to starboard is an L shaped galley with alcohol stove, refrigerator, and sink with pressure hot/cold water. Aft to port is a head with vanity sink, manual marine toilet and shower. The main salon has sliding windows with screens and there is one opening hatch forward. The cabin sole is carpeted and the cabin joinery work is synthetic covered with teak trim. “SAMPLE” surveyed by Ian M. White 7 of 30 2.

STATEMENT OF OVERALL VESSEL RATING OF CONDITION: It is the surveyor's experience that develops an opinion as to a vessel’s OVERALL VESSEL RATING OF CONDITION immediately after a complete survey has been performed and the findings organized in a logical manner. The grading of condition, as developed by BUC RESEARCH, and accepted in the marine industry, for a vessel at the time of survey, determines the adjustment to the range of base values in the BUC USED BOAT PRICE GUIDE, for a similar vessel sold within a given time period, as a consideration to determine the Market Value. The following is the accepted marine grading system of condition: ''EXCELLENT (BRISTOL) CONDITION'' ‐ A vessel that is maintained in mint or Bristol fashion ‐ usually better than factory new ‐ loaded with extras ‐ a rarity. ''ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION'' ‐ The vessel has had above average care and is equipped with extra electrical and electronic gear. ''AVERAGE CONDITION'' ‐ The vessel is ready for sale requiring no additional work and normally equipped for her size. ''FAIR CONDITION'' ‐ The vessel requires usual maintenance to prepare for sale. ''POOR CONDITION’’ ‐ Substantial yard work required and devoid of extras. ''RESTORABLE CONDITION'' ‐ Enough of the hull and engine exists to restore the boat to usable condition. As a result of my investigation, as stated in the SYSTEMS AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, section of this REPORT OF SURVEY, and by virtue of my experience, my opinion is: OVERALL VESSEL RATING: AVERAGE CONDITION “SAMPLE” surveyed by Ian M. White 26 of 30 5.2.
STATEMENT OF VALUATION: The ''FAIR MARKET VALUE'' is the most probable price in terms of money which a vessel should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby: a. Buyer and seller are typically motivated. b. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what they consider their own best interest. c. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market. d. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and e. The price represents a normal consideration for the vessel sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale. Therefore, after consideration of the reliability of the data, the extent of the necessary adjustments and condition of the vessel, it is your surveyor's opinion that the ''FAIR MARKET VALUE'' of the subject vessel is: $x0,00000 xxxxxx Thousand Dollars The ''ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST'' indicates the retail cost of a new vessel of the same make/model with similar equipment offered by the same manufacturer. ''ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST'' of the subject vessel is: $xx0,000 “SAMPLE” xxxxxxxxx Thousand Dollars surveyed by Ian M. White 27 of 30 5.3.
SUMMARY: In accordance with the request for a marine survey of the SAMPLE, for the purpose of evaluating its present condition and estimating its Fair Market Value and Replacement Cost, I herewith submit my conclusion based on the preceding report. The SAMPLE was personally inspected by the undersigned on July xx, 200x. The “A” Deficiencies list should be attended to prior to next putting to sea. The vessel is generally in average shape and equipped for inland waters cruising. The vessel is considered to be suitable for its intended use of recreational cruising. The overall rating and fair market value shown above are based on an in the water inspection and an out of water inspection only. Sea trial was not performed. “SAMPLE” surveyed by Ian M.
