    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.

    Grounding damage:

    None noted.

    Strainers/Scoops/Screens:

    All strainers/screens are well secured to hull bottom. Some debris & zebra mussels

    located on screen.

    cleaned.

    Clean blades on thruster blades.

    ANODES

    Shaft: None sighted on shafts. Surveyor recommends a collar anode for each shaft

    mounted just forward of the V-strut. Besides protecting the shaft from corrosion,

    this serves as protection from loss of shaft/prop in case of shaft coupler failure.

    Rudder: No.

    Trim Tabs: No.

    Strut: No.

    Hull mounted:

    "Camp" anode securely mounted on transom. Poor condition. Anode is wasted.

    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

    approximately 6" to 8". Appear secure. No leaks sighted thru any part of hull to

    deck joint area

    Bilge(s):

    Clean and dry. NOTE: Whenever you visit your boat, it's good practice to check

    the bilge area(s) for higher than normal levels of water or anything else that could

    be causing trouble.

    Stringers: Hull stiffness provided by FRP covered wooden longitudinal stringers that run the

    length of the vessel. Complete inspection not possible due to limited access.

    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.

    AUXILIARY SAFETY EQUIPMENT

    Smoke Detector(s): Yes installed and appears functional.

    Carbon Monoxide

    Detectors:

    COSensor IINOTE: During the burning of any of fuels, Carbon Monoxide ( CO )

    gas may be created due to incomplete combustion from propulsion systems, cabin

    heater or stove as well as nearby boats running generators. Adequate ventilation

    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.

    approximately 45 feet on the starboard and port turns hard over. Vessel stability

    was good during turning.

    Throttle levers: The throttles controls worked properly and smoothly during the sea trial.

    Transmissions: The transmissions operated normally/smoothly.

    Vibrations Vibrations and engine noise were minimal during the sea trial.

    Leaks: No leaks were sighted in any of the lines or hull spaces of the vessel.

    Generator: Generator output was recorded at 120 Volts and maintained voltage with all air

    conditioners running during the sea trial.

    Air Conditioner: All air conditioners functioned properly in both heat and cooling modes.

    RELATIVE TEMPERATURE READINGS

    Engine Temperature

    Readings

    The engine block temperature readings were measured as the following: Port

    engine block 170.7 degrees, Starboard engine block: 168.4 degrees. Temprature

    readings were taken with a FLIR thermal camera while underway. Temperature

    readings at the helm were consistent with readings taken from the thermal camera.

    Water pump: The impeller water pump system worked properly during the sea trial.

    Temperature comments: All temperature readings were conducted using a FLIR thermal camera.

    Findings: Recommendations:

    The starboard engine briefly overheated during the wide

    open throttle test. The temperature came down rapidly

    when the captain came off the throttle and returned to

    normal operating range.

    Have a qualified marine technician inspect exterior raw

    water intake screen and internal screen to insure proper

    water flow.

    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.
