INTRODUCTION
REPORT INTRODUCTION COMMENTS:
At the request of Mr. John Customer representing Boat Rental LLC , the prospective buyer of a Meridian 391 , a
2006 40 foot power boat, I agreed to conduct a pre-purchase and valuation survey. I arrived at the vessel's locationon
December 20th 2013 at 7:30 AM. Mr. Customer arrived at 2:00 PM. The vessel was located at Hinckley Yacht
Services located at 2400 Mechanics Ave, Savannah, GA 314041. The survey was conducted from 7:30 AM to 3:30
PM.
The weather on the day of the survey was warm with partly cloudy skies. Moisture readings were taken of the
vessel with a calibrated Model GRP 33 Marine Moisture Meter.
DC power was made available during the survey to the vessel. AC power was not available from the ships shore
power and was checked using the vessels onboard generator. The vessel's twin diesel engines were started and
operated during the sea trial.
During a vessel's survey the mandatory standards promulgated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG),
under the authority of title 46 United States Code (USC), Title 33, and Title 46, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), and the voluntary standards and recommended practices developed by the American
Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC), and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have been used as
guidelines in the conduct of this survey. Findings in the summary pages of this survey reflect conditions
observed at the time of survey.

out over winter storage unless severe or large. Blisters (if any) best appear after
vessel has been in water for an entire season. In addition, the symptomatic
evidence of blistering can be obscured by bottom coatings, a dry storage period
during which blisters spontaneously depressurize, bottom laminate sanding, and
other conditions or actions. Recommend full inspection for blisters immediately
after haul-out and power wash. Surveyor has no firsthand knowledge of the history
of bottom maintenance, blistering, repairs or prophylactic coatings on this vessel.
Moisture/Delamination: Moisture meter readings not taken since the type of bottom paint used would
provide false moisture readings. Percussion hammer testing showed no evidence ofany delamination on hull bottom.

Bonding: Yes.
Replacement required?: All anodes are deteriorated. RECOMMENDATION: Replace all anodes.
Other Notes: Monitor all anodes frequently and replace when they are no more than 50%
wasted. Anodes are normal replacement items designed to protect the running gear
from electrolysis. Keep spares aboard vessel.
Findings: Recommendations:
All anodes are deteriorated. Replace all anodes.
Note:Dissimilar metals and
metal alloys have different electrode potentials whentwo or more of these metals exist in the same electrolyte
(such as seawater). When this happens a galvanic
couple can be created and depending upon the nobility
of the metal, one metal will become the anode and
another metal will become the cathode and can form
electrolysis between the two electrodes (the anode and
the cathode). Once the galvanic couple is formed
between the two metals, the anode metal will dissolve
into the electrolyte. This electrochemical reaction is
called galvanic corrosion and can occur on a vessel
below the waterline between two metals that are
different in nobility or charged at different levels.Bonding underwater metals together causes the metals
to remain at the same potential and helps prevent or
slows the galvanic corrosion process.
INTERIOR HULL & STRUCTURAL INSPECTION
HULL INTERIOR & STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
Hull to Deck Joint: Overlap (Shoe box type), Fasteners sighted were stainless steel bolts spaced

Other notes: NOTE:
It is good practice when buying a used vessel that all fluids (Engine and
Outdrive) be changed and the raw water cooling impeller(s) also be changed.As stated in the Terms and Conditions agreement, It is understood that the
attending surveyor is not an engine/transmission surveyor. As such, I recommend
that all gasoline engines and transmissions be inspected by a qualified engine
surveyor/mechanic to determine the internal condition of the engine(s),
transmission gears, and pumps, heat exchangers, coolers, etc.

initial part of a de-watering system, which may include a strum-box, check-valves
or occasionally anti-siphon loops and valves, piping, a seacock if the exit is below
waterline and a thru-hull tailpiece. This entire system must be understood and
maintained. Bilge pumps may fail at any time. No warranty as to longevity can be
expressed or implied at survey. Tapered wooden plugs tied to seacocks are an
inexpensive safety item and highly recommended under current ABYC standards.Keeping bilges clean and free of debris is a vital part of insuring proper operation.
It is also recommended that each bilge pump be periodically tested by filling the
immediate bilge area with water, to ensure the pump(s) and float switch(s) are
operating as designed.

must be provided at all times while burning any of these fuels, but CO may also be
drawn into the cabin through ventilation systems. This is especially true of boats
running air conditioning. CO is a silent menace and kills without warning, Regular
testing of installed CO detectors in any occupied spaces below decks is highly
recommended.

INSPECTION RECOMMENDATIONS SUMMARY
PRIORITY I - SAFETY & REGULATORY RECOMMENDATIONS:
(MAY BE MANDATORY)The items listed are required by state laws or federal laws and U.S.C.G. regulations or are considered by the
attending surveyor to represent unsafe operating conditions. Recommend these items be corrected before next use
of vessel.
U.S.C.G. REQUIRED
Findings: Visual distress signals are all expired.
MARPOL (Garbage) placard not sighted. This is required for any vessel 26' or longer
Recommendations: Replace expired visual distress signals to comply with USCG regulations 33 CFR 175.110 for visual distresssignals prior to using vessel. NOTE: All visual distress signals have a printed expiration date- 3 years from date of
manufacture. It is recommended that expired signals be retained for backup. You must have at least
three aerial or three red hand held signals that are current.
Acquire and post an official USCG approved Trash Disposal Placard near waste area to comply with USCGregulations 33 CFR 151.59.
FIRE EQUIPMENT OBSERVATION
Findings: Insufficient number of fire extinguishers for this size vessel.Recommendations: USCG standards for vessels 26 to 40 feet require two (2) BI extinguishers or one (1) BI and (1) one Fixedsystem. ABYC A4.6.3 and NFPA 302 Chapter 12 recommend three (3) extinguishers: one(1) outside the enginecompartment, One at steering position and One near the galley or passenger cockpit. Recommend compliancewith ABYC an NFPA for this size vessel. Fire extinguishers should be permanently mounted and readily availableusing the mounting system for the brand chosen.
PRIORITY II - MAINTENANCE & STANDARDS RELATED RECOMMENDATIONS:
(NOT NORMALLY MANDATORY)These are important maintenance items sighted which in this firm's opinion should be performed. They may also
include recommendations to conform to current ABYC and NFPA-302 voluntary standards which may not have
been in effect or may not have been adhered to by the builder when the vessel was constructed. Some of these, if
not addressed, could lead to a Priority I safety issue and/or may result in a reduced vessel market value.
HULL BOTTOMFindings: Hull bottom needs to be sanded and repainted with anti fouling paint. Screens and transducers needed to be
cleaned.Recommendations: Have the hull bottom sanded and repainted. Clean all screens and transducers and cover with antifouling paint.
ANODES
Findings: All anodes are deteriorated.
Recommendations: Replace all anodes. Dissimilar metals and metal alloys have different electrode potentials when two or more ofthese metals exist in the same electrolyte (such as seawater). When this happens a galvanic couple can be
created and depending upon the nobility of the metal, one metal will become the anode and another metal willbecome the cathode and can form electrolysis between the two electrodes (the anode and the cathode).Oncethe galvanic couple is formed between the two metals, the anode metal will dissolve into the electrolyte. Thiselectrochemical reaction is called galvanic corrosion and can occur on a vessel below the waterline betweentwo metals that are
different in nobility or charged at different levels. Bonding underwater metals together causes the metalsto remain at the same potential and helps prevent or slows the galvanic corrosion process.
SEA VALVES
Findings: Air conditioning sea valve handle is stiff and can not be closed.
Recommendations: Have a qualified marine technician service the sea valve handle for proper operation.
MAIN ENGINE(S)
Findings: Forward inside starboard engine mount shows excessive corrosion.
Recommendations: Have all engine mounts inspected by a qualified marine technician and repair or replace as recommended.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS:These are other less significant maintenance items or observations that if not addressed, could lead to more
important priority issues and/or could lead to a reduced vessel market value. The cost of addressing these
recommendations is generally minimal.
THRUSTERS
Findings: Truster blades have bottom growth and need to be cleaned.Recommendations: Clean blades on thruster blades.
SEA TRIAL
Findings: The starboard engine briefly overheated during the wide open throttle test. The temperature came down rapidlywhen the captain came off the throttle and returned to normal operating range.
Recommendations: Have a qualified marine technician inspect exterior raw water intake screen and internal screen to insure properwater flow.
MAIN DECK AND FITTINGS
Findings: Loose light fixture on the aft deck. Aft deck torn carpet.
Recommendations: Have a qualified marine technician repair the light fixture. Replace aft deck carpet.
