| GIBBS MARINE SURVEYS SINCE 1976 |
| The marine survey is a written report providing the dimensions, gear, hull structure, equipment, propulsion machinery, and the basic lay-out and condition of the vessel. The physical and visual examination consists inspecting the hull, fittings, gear, machinery and equipment to ascertain all of these items are in sea worthy condition. A marine survey also consists of inspecting fresh water lines, sinks, faucets, tanks(fuel, water, waste) fuel lines, thru-hull fittings, raw water hoses, batteries, electrical 12 - volt and 110-volt systems, air conditioning units and pumps, steering, vents, blowers, cabin windows, galley equipment, navigational equipment, lights and railing to make sure all are in good condition. Included in the survey is a list of "Recommendations" and any "Damage Observed" along with color photographs inside and out of the vessel. This information is then compiled to estimate a current market value. |
| Who requires a Survey? |
| It is always highly recommended that anyone who is purchasing a used boat have a survey performed on the vessel prior to ownership. Most banks require a marine survey to determine the current market value and to ensure the vessel is sea worthy and in good physical condition. To determine the current market value and to have a written document from an outside source to help support the loan. Most insurance companies require a survey on a vessel anywhere from five to ten years old or older. Insurance companies want to know the condition and sea worthiness of the vessel to ensure the vessel is not insured above or below market value. |
