SURVEY REPORT
PURCHASE SURVEY
SURVEY NO. xxxx SEPTEMBER 19, 2017
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: This is to certify that the undersigned surveyor at the request
of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, attended the
powerboat out of the water on the 11th day of September and in the water on the 19th day of
September in the year 2017, at McDaniel Yacht Basin, 15 Grandview Avenue, North East,
Maryland, 21901, and did survey said vessel for Mr. xxxxxxxxxx, while representing his interest
as a prospective buyer.
The vessel is a Carver 3807 aft cabin, built by Carver Boat Co., located at Industrial Drive,
Pulaski, WI, 54162, (telephone number 920-822-3214), in the year 1988, as hull identification
number xxxxxxxxxxxx. The vessel’s approximate measurements are: LOA 37’6”, BEAM 14’0”,
DRAFT 3’4”, and WEIGHT 22,750 lbs. This particular model was in production from 1987 until
1992. The vessel’s registration number is xxxxxxxx. The vessel’s name is “xxxxxxxxx.”
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 modified-V hull and constructed
with 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. The molded fiberglass flybridge unit is bonded to
the main cabin top. I have noted the following:
a) The fiberglass to resin ratio is good.
b) The resin appears to have cured well.

RECOMMENDATIONS
SAFETY AND STRUCTURAL ITEMS
a) Replace the plastic engine ignition reset covers.
b) Cover the open battery cable ends on both engines’ starters.
c) Install new fire extinguishers in the specified locations. Fire extinguishers mounted in lockers
need an ISO label for fire extinguishers. Have the Halon 1301 inspected.
d) Install a new marine grade carbon monoxide detector. I would also suggest the installation of
smoke detectors.
e) Install a master on/off battery switch for the gen set out of the machinery compartment in an
easily accessible and dry location.
f) Cover the positive terminal end on the gen set starter.
g) Repair or replace seacocks that are stiff and seized. Suggest relocating the holding tank, so
the port engine seacock and forward head intake seacock accessible. Or install handle
extensions.
h) Properly secure the batteries in such a fashion that they cannot shift or move in a heavy
seaway.
i) Place wiring throughout the vessel into harness form and properly secure to hull and hull
members.
j) Install cover plates on head receptacles.
k) 120 volt wire connection for the hot water heater needs to be installed in a junction box. The
wire going into the steel electric box on the hot water heater need a wire clamp to properly
support the wire connection.
l) Relocate the steaming light or the search light, as the search light obstructs the steaming light.

RECOMMENDATIONS (cont.)
ITEMS FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
a) Repair delaminated areas up by the rise for the deck cushion on the starboard side.
b) Remove the old barrier coat from the bottom, allow to dry, repair blisters, apply new barrier
coat, and bottom paint.
c) Repair or replace the swim platform.
d) Repair stress cracks, if so desired.
e) Add hydraulic fluid to the steering reservoir.
f) Replace all motor mounts on both engines.
g) Clean bilge from water and oil.
h) Reroute the hot water heater hose, as the floor panel in the machinery compartment crimps the
hose.
i) Note that the oven works independent of the stove and operated by switch. I could not get the
burners to work; the burners will need further evaluation.
j) Replace all zincs below waterline.
k) Further evaluation will be required for the Lectra San unit as it did not cycle through.
l) Repair or replace the cabin lights that did not work.
m) Repair canvas as needed.
n) Further evaluation will be required for the operation of the engines.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
a) As part of a preventive maintenance program, I would suggest rebedding all deck hardware,
ports windows and hatches with polysulfide compound.
b) Bottom test 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) Replace all plastic thru hull-fittings above the water line. Suggest replacing units with stainless
steel thru-hull fittings.
e) From what I could see of the fuel hoses, they do appear to be the original hoses. I would
suggest replacing all fuel hoses in the near future.
f) Align the engine shafts.
g) Rebed the underwater fittings with polysulfide compound.
h) Clean all terminal ends of the bonding wires and bond thru hulls that are not bonded.
SURVEYOR’S SUGGESTIONS
this is not part of the report
a) Supply a 45 lb. plow anchor with chain.
b) Supply a 3/8” x 30’ snubbing line with a fishing float to attach to the anchor.
c) Install a teak and holly floor in the galley and main cabin, instead of replacing the carpet,
with access panels throughout the cabin floor.
d) Recharge the air conditioners.
e) Open canvas and allow air flow to prevent greenhouse heating on the bridge deck, which will
ruin the Isonglass and vinyl cushions.
f) Install dripless packing glands.
g) Remove the aft deck and bridge carpeting. Remove the snaps from the deck and fill the screw
holes.

COMMENTS
It is to my understanding that the vessel was shed kept since new and only had two owners.
There was a barrier coat applied at some point, which had failed. This will need to be removed
and properly dried out before repairs.
The decks were found to be above average for the age and type of vessel.
K and N makes marine grade flame arresters as well as automotive flame arresters. I did look up
the model number for the flame arrestor, which is 59-3370. I stated this because these flame
arresters did not come with the engines.
The holding tank is installed in front of the port engine creating a problem with the access to the
sea strainer and the seacock for the engine and also the head intake. ABYC requires all seacocks
to be easily accessible and work freely. I would recommend relocating the holding tank, which
will eliminate that issue. I would also suggest replacing the plastic tank with a bladder tank, which
will allow more options for relocation, as well as reducing the odor of old plastic holding tanks.
CONCLUSION
Said vessel is suitable for manufacturer’s intended purpose.
With consideration given to the condition of the vessel, optional equipment, market condition, and
the use of the BUC Book, it is hereby my professional opinion that an appraised value for said
vessel can be placed at $41,300.00. This vessel is no longer in production. A replacement value
can be set around $376,000.00.
I would suggest getting an estimate of repairs, as well as full disclosure before settlement.
