Pre-purchase and Insurance:
Pre-purchase and insurance: The vessel survey is written to ABYC, NFPA 302, USCG and applicable CFRs. The marine survey inspection covers structural integrity, as well as all on- board systems: propulsion, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, tankage, electronics, safety equipment and additional equipment. The survey report is very comprehensive and meets requirements for finance and insurance considerations. Please note that the surveyor must have a qualified operator on board during sea trial. The surveyor must be free to examine all operational equipment while under way. The vessel must have all USCG conforming safety equipment on board. Registration and appropriate paperwork must be on board the vessel. The surveyor will not sea trial a gasoline vessel that does not have operational bilge blowers. The surveyor reserves the right to not attend a sea trial due to an opinion of unsafe vessel or weather conditions.
