SURVEY REPORT

INSURANCE SURVEY

SURVEY NO. xxxx MAY 5, 2016

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify that the undersigned surveyor at the request

of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, attended

the powerboat in and out of the water on the 5th day of May in the year 2016, at Chesapeake

Marine Service, 114 Carroll Island Road, Middle River, Maryland, and did survey said vessel for

Mr. xxxxxxxxxx, while representing his interest in obtaining marine insurance

The vessel is a Sea Ray Sundancer 320, built by Sea Ray Boats, located at 2600 Sea Ray Blvd.,

Knoxville, TN, 37914, (telephone number 800-648-8535), in the year 2005, as hull identification

number US-xxxxxxxxxxxx. The vessel’s approximate measurements are: LOA 35’6”, HULL

LENGTH 32’0”, BEAM 11’5”, DRAFT 2’9”, WEIGHT 13,200 lb., and CLEARANCE 10’2”.

The vessel’s registration number is MD4770CE. This particular model was in production from

2003 until 2007. The vessel’s documentation number is xxxxxxxx, which will expire September

30, 2016.

ALL MAJOR HULL MEMBERS, wherever accessible, together with all surfaces, joints, bonds,

fillets, webs, bulkheads, and hard curve areas were carefully inspected with particular care being

devoted to areas of normal stress concentrations and possible bulkheads or other hard spots. Field

methods of sounding and visual sighting were used. Also, the use of a moisture meter to

determine the moisture content of the hull, decks, and other areas which could retain moisture

causing damage to the vessel.

HULL CONSTRUCTION: the vessel was built on a fiberglass deep-V hull and constructed

with vinylester resin and fiberglass mat. The hull’s exterior finishing is a gel coat glazing. The

deck and cabin top was built as a one-piece unit and bonded to the hull at the vessel’s sheer. The

deck is of a sandwiched core and fiberglass construction. I have noted the following:

a) The fiberglass to resin ratio is good.

b) The resin appears to have cured well.

RECOMMENDATIONS

STRUCTURAL ITEMS AND SAFETY ITEMS

a) Install smoke detectors and new carbon monoxide detectors.

b) Install extensions on the handles for the engine intake seacocks.

c) Install new fire extinguishers in the above given locations and have the Halon 1301 inspected.

Any fire extinguishers to be installed in a locker or cabinet door should be labeled for a fire

extinguisher.

d) Double hose clamp the seacock hoses for the generator and the air conditioner water intake

pump.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

The preventive maintenance comments are not part of the report,

but a reminder of the discussion during the inspection.

a) As part of a preventive maintenance program, I would suggest rebedding all deck hardware

with polysulfide compound.

b) Bottom sample fuel tanks. Have the tanks scrubbed if necessary.

c) Spray motor mounts with W-D 40 or similar product. Keep oil of the rubber part of the

mounts.

d) Clean battery terminal ends.

e) Have both engines aligned.

f) Replace wiper blades.

SURVEYOR’S SUGGESTIONS

(as per conversation at survey and not part of recommendations or survey)

a) Install a raw water wash down pump for the windlass.

b) Install a trip line for the anchor with a fishing float.

c) Install an auto pilot.

d) Install Glendinning engine synchronizer.

COMMENTS

Said vessel surveyed out well and was found to be structurally sound at the time of my

inspection. The gel coat glazing holds a good shine, although slightly faded in the transom area.

Overall, the decks were good. The vessel appear to have been well maintained and kept to high

yachting standards.

There was no sea trial request on this report.

The USCG and ABYC require seacocks to be easily accessible and work freely, which was not

taken into consideration when installing the seacocks.

CONCLUSION

Said vessel is suitable for manufacturer’s attended purpose.

With consideration given to the condition of the vessel, optional equipment, current market

condition, and the use of the Buck Book, it is hereby my professional opinion that an appraised

insured value for said vessel can be set at $87,500.00. The replacement value is $293,500.00. This

particular model is no longer in production.

The sole purpose of this report is to obtain marine insurance and cannot be used for consideration

of purchase or financing.
