Scope of Survey
This marine survey inspection of the 2007 280 Sea Ray Sundancer M/V “XXX XXXX” was performed on June 5, 2019. The
survey took place while out the water at XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, WA. A vessel demonstration took place in Lake
Washington, out of Seattle, WA on a temperate day with calm lake conditions. Parties attending the vessel
demonstration were Ed Gonsorowski, the undersigned surveyor, and XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX. The purpose of this
marine survey is to ascertain the physical condition and estimated fair market value at the request of XXXX XXXX,
Perspective purchaser. A mechanical survey was performed by XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX.

The testing procedures used to perform the survey were non-destructive. Testing methods used but not limited to are
visual, soundings, and moisture meter readings. The moisture meter used during the inspection was a GE Aquant
Protimeter. Structure deficiencies specified in the report, if any, are observations that may require further investigation
using destructive testing techniques to determine the extent of the deficiency in question and to determine a plan for
repair if deemed necessary by a qualified technician or reputable full-service boatyard.

Unless otherwise stated mechanical systems such as engines and generators are not thoroughly examined and are only
visually inspected for apparent deficiencies.

Deficiencies noted during the examination process are in the opinion of the surveyor and may require further evaluation
by a qualified technician. Internal condition of mechanical systems is indiscernible without complete disassembly which
are not performed during this survey.

AC & DC power sources were used to test electronic equipment.

Tankage such as fuel, fresh water, grey water, black water, etc. are visually inspected where accessible. Inaccessible
tankage areas are not evaluated, nor are tankage interiors. The surveyor is not able to comment on the condition of
inaccessible areas of tankage systems.

The surveyor does not make any determination or representation of seaworthiness, stability characteristics or inherent
structural integrity and no opinion is expressed or implied regarding such.

If a component is not identified in this report, it was not inspected.

Although specific recommendations may be made, this survey will be a general survey only; unless specifically identified
otherwise.

This survey was completed using as reference the federal regulations and amendments issued and enforced by the USCG
under the authority of Title 33 & 46 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR’S). In addition, the American
Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA-302) voluntary standards were used as
reference during the survey.

ABYC RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations published by the American Boat & Yacht Council. These recommendations are voluntary, but highly
recommended.

DEFICIENCIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE DEEMED BY THE


SURVEYOR TO NEED ATTENTION OR REPAIR ARE RECOMMENDED TO BE
PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN OR REPUTABLE BOATYARD

SAFETY RELATED DEFICIENCIES

1. VISUAL DISTRESS SIGNAL FLARES: Were sighted aboard vessel but had expired dates. USCG requires a
minimum of three day-use and three night-use or three day/ night combination pyrotechnic devices.
Non-pyrotechnic substitutes: 1 orange flag (day-use) and 1 electric S-O-S signal light (night-use).
Recommend renew visual distress signal flares according to USCG minimum requirements for
recreational vessels.

2. TYPE IV THROWABLE PERSONAL FLOATATION DEVICE (PFD): Type 4 throwable personal floatation
device was not sighted. USCG requires at least (1) type 4 throwable certified PFD on vessels 16’ or larger
to be onboard in an immediately accessible location. Recommend equip vessel with type 4 USCG
certified PFD and place in an immediately accessible location.

3. FIXED FIRE EXTINGUISHER: Fixed automatic fire extinguisher located in the engine room was not tagged
and dated showing recent service. According to the NFPA-302 standards annex B.4.7: All fixed systems, if
installed, should be maintained on at least an annual basis in accordance with the manufactures
maintenance manual. It is recommended that a fixed system be maintained by a qualified fixed system
service person. Recommend have serviced and tagged by a qualified service personnel.

4. HAND-HELD FIRE EXTINGUISHER: Was not tagged and dated indicating recent service. Recommend
service and tag all extinguishers annually per National Fire Protection Association recommendations to
ensure reliability. USCG requires vessels 26 to 40’ have one B-1 handheld fire extinguisher if equipped
with a fixed system. Recommend equip vessel with correct number of fire extinguishers and properly
mount. Label any lockers which contain fire extinguishers.

5. NAVIGATION LIGHTS: Were inoperable when tested at survey. According to USCG minimum
requirements for recreational vessels: Vessels over 16’ must be equipped with sidelights, stern light, and
masthead light and must also have an all-around white anchor light capable of being independently lit
from the red/ green/ white running lights. Recommend repair navigation lights as required.

6. CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR: Carbon monoxide detector was found disconnected at survey and did
not have a “replace by” date. According to ABYC H-24: CO detectors must be marked with the following:
Name of Certifying Body. Replace by date – MM/YYYY or replace by: XX months after retail sale as
determined by the manufacturer. Furthermore, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) instituted a mandate
outlining CO detectors for boats be replaced every 5 years and as of 2010, hardwired CO detectors have
an end of life alarm on all new units sold. Recommend renew CO detector with a marine grade unit.

DEFICIENCIES REQUIRING ATTENTION


7. STEERING PIN WATER ENTRY: Water is leaking into boat at the outdrive steering pin seal. Recommend
repair water leak as required.

8. ENGINE ALTERNATOR: Was inoperable at survey and not supplying a charge to the batteries.
Recommend repair or renew alternator as required.

Page 10 of 21
Edwards Marine Survey LLC

9. BATTERIES WING NUTS AND EXPOSED UNGROUNDED TERMINALS: Wing nut fasteners were used to
secure battery cables on house battery. Wing nuts are a poor choice to secure battery cables securely.
According to ABYC E-10: Battery cables and other conductors’ size 6AWG and larger shall not be
connected to the battery with wing nuts. Recommend replace wing nut fasteners with stainless steel hex
nut type fasteners and tightly secured.
Ungrounded (positive) DC power conductor terminals at the batteries were found unprotected from the
possibility of accidental shorting to ground causing a short circuit condition. ABYC E-11: Continuously
energized parts, such as positive battery terminals and both ends of all wires connected thereto, shall be
physically protected to prevent accidental short circuits. Protection shall cover all energized surfaces
(e.g., boots). Recommend locate and adequately cover all energized DC power conductors.

10. FRESH WATER SYSTEM LEAKS: The faucet would not turn off at the galley and head sink. There was a
water leak at the pump itself. Recommend repair all water system leaks as required.

Page 11 of 21
Edwards Marine Survey LLC

11. BOTTOM PAINT: Was found to be not adhering in some locations sufficiently and in need of service.
Recommend properly prepare surfaces with missing paint and apply new bottom paint throughout the
bottom.

12. ANCHOR CHAIN LOCKER HATCH SUPPORT BROKEN: Recommend renew gas shock support as required.

Page 12 of 21
Edwards Marine Survey LLC

13. PORTSIDE SETEE STOWAGE LOCKER: Will not latch closed. Latch appears intact but will not secure the
hatch door closed. Recommend repair or renew latch assembly as required.

GENERAL NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS


• It was reported to have a complete new outdrive; when observed only the lower unit (bottom) was new. The
outdrive appeared in satisfactory condition and functioned adequately. Brandon Farmer, the mechanical
surveyor did not inspect the outdrive because it was stated to have been renewed.

• Vinyl seat cushion at aft port was split at seam. Recommend repair if desired.

CONDITION
It is in the professional opinion of the marine surveyor and is based on individual experiences and knowledge in which
the condition is expressed. After surveying the subject vessel, the overall condition will be assessed by the marine
surveyor using the grading scale below.

EXCELLENT (BRISTOL) CONDITION: A boat that is in new or like new condition. Usually loaded with significant
extras; a rarity.

ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION: Has had above average care, been well maintained and is usually equipped with
extras.

AVERAGE CONDITION: Requiring very little or no additional work and normally equipped for her size.
BELOW AVERAGE CONDITON: Numerous deficiencies exist and will require significant maintenance to ensure
safety and reliability.

POOR CONDITION: Boat is not in usable condition and requires substantial repairs to bring it to a safe and reliable
operational condition.

During the conduct of this survey, all parts of the vessel accessible without removal of bulkheads, fastened partitions,
decks, etc., were carefully examined. Every effort was made to determine the vessels condition and fair market value
compared to similar vessels.

OVERALL VESSEL CONDITION: AVERAGE

SUMMARY
The vessel was found to be structurally sound and practically fitted for her intended service. The vessel was in average
overall condition. Minor repairs, if observed, appeared to be performed in an appropriate manner.

VALUATION
FAIR MARKET VALUE (FMV): The comparable vessel calculation is the most probable price in which a vessel
should bring in a competitive market under all condition’s requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting
prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus. Both parties are well informed or
well advised, and each is acting in what they consider their own best interest. It is an estimated price in which a vessel is
valued between an equally motivated buyer and seller.

REPLACMENT COST: An estimated cost to replace the vessel with a similar sized and equipped vessel of the same
manufacture if possible.

Page 14 of 21
Edwards Marine Survey LLC

ESTIMATED FAIR MARKET VALUE (FMV): $55,000


ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST: $220,000
Valuation Sources: Condition of vessel and options were used along with Soldboats.com, BucValuepro.com, NADA,
and similar boats currently listed for sale were used to determine the FMV.

NADA Guides location was entered as 98105 Seattle, WA.
