"Pokin A' Long" surveyed by Marine1 Surveying, LLC - Marietta, GA 30068
TOC
I. INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF SURVEY
Acting at the request of Mr. Buyer, the attending surveyor conducted a Marine Survey of the 1999 Sumerset 74' Houseboat, "Pokin A'
Long" on June 23, 2013 from 1030 hours to 1500 hours where she lay afloat at slip #: E-43 at Park Marina, 651 Park Marina Road,
Cartersville, Georgia 30121 (770-974-2628). The reason for the survey was to ascertain the physical condition and value of the
vessel for insurance consideration. The Hull Identification Number (HIN), XXXXXXXXXX, was verified from the transom. The state
registration papers were sighted on board; the state validation sticker and state registration number were sighted on the port and
starboard bow. A sea trial was not performed. The engines and generator were operated at dock only. An out-of the water
inspection of underwater machinery and the exterior of the hulls wetted surface area was not performed. Moisture readings taken
and referenced throughout the body of the report were taken with the Electrophysics Moisture Meter Model GRP33. Images
supplied with this report were produced with a Canon PowerShot A1400 digital camera and represent a true and accurate
representation of the subject at the time the image was taken. AC (shore power) and DC (battery power) was used to check
operation of the electrical systems specified in this report only.
No reference or information should be construed to indicate any of the following:
1. Evaluation of the internal condition of the engine(s) or the propulsion system's operating capacity.
2. Electronic equipment was checked for ''power up'' only and was not field or bench tested.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in this report, this surveyor visually inspected this vessel without removal of any fasteners,
fixed or semi fixed structures or equipment, and has not dissembled any hull structures. Therefore, due to this visual inspection
this survey report does not cover latent defects not readily discovered without such removals and disassemblies. Locked
compartments or otherwise inaccessible areas would also precluded visual inspection. The buyer is advised to open up all such
areas periodically for self-inspection. Further, no determination of stability characteristics or inherent structural integrity has
been made and no opinion is expressed with respect thereto. This survey report represents the condition of the vessel on the above
dates, and is the unbiased opinion of the undersigned, but it is not to be considered an inventory or a warranty either specified or
implied.
NOTE: It is recommended that an out-of the water survey on the underwater machinery and the exterior of the hull's wetted
surface be performed. It is also recommended that a sea trial be performed to further inspect the physical condition and
performance.
VESSEL DESCRIPTION
"Pokin A' Long" is Sumerset houseboat that is consistent with other type vessels of the same year. The cabin layout is considered
custom with a covered foredeck, main salon, dinette area, full equipped galley, stateroom, individual head, master stateroom with
head and shower, and covered aft deck with access to a large swim platform. Stair cases from the aft deck and from the bow
starboard side deck allows easy movement to and from the upper party deck. The party deck consists of a flybridge with helm
station, seating, bimini, and radar arch. Also, a covered party hut with seating and a large open party/sun lounging area.

V. SUMMARY AND VALUATION
STATEMENT OF OVERALL VESSEL RATING OF CONDITION:
It is the surveyor's experience that develops an opinion of the OVERALL VESSEL RATING OF CONDITION after a the survey has been
completed and the findings have been organized in a logical manner.
The BUC® grading system of condition for a vessel sold within a given time period, has been used as a consideration to grade
the vessel and to determine the Market Value. Developed by BUC® RESEARCH and generally accepted by the marine industry, for
a vessel at the time of survey, it is also determines the adjustment to the range of base values in the BUC® USED BOAT PRICE
GUIDE.
The following grading system has been used as a standard for determining the vessel's condition:
''EXCELLENT (BRISTOL) CONDITION'': has been maintained in mint or bristol fashion - usually better than factory new - loaded with
extras - a rarity.
''ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION'': has had above average care and is equipped with upgraded operational systems.
''AVERAGE CONDITION'': has had average care, is ready for sale requiring some additional work and normally equipped for her
size and intended use.
''FAIR CONDITION'': requires more than normal maintenance to prepare the vessel for sale.
''POOR CONDITION'': substantial yard work required and devoid of extras.
''RESTORABLE CONDITION'': enough of hull and engine exists to restore the boat to usable condition.
As a result of my investigation, as shown in the SYSTEMS AND FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS section of this REPORT OF
SURVEY, and by virtue of my experience, my opinion is
OVERALL VESSEL RATING:
ABOVE AVERAGE
STATEMENT OF VALUATION:
1. The ''FAIR MARKET VALUE'' is the most probable price in terms of money which a vessel should bring in a competitive and open
market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller, each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the
price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under
conditions whereby:
a. Buyer and seller are typically motivated.
b. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what they consider their own best interest.
c. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
d. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto; and
e. The price represents a normal consideration for the vessel sold unaffected by special or creative financing or sales
concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
Therefore, after reviewing comparable vessels listed in current publications and internet brokerage sites, consideration of the
reliability of the data, and the extent of the necessary adjustments of the vessel for current market, it is your surveyor's opinion
that the ''FAIR MARKET VALUE'' of the subject vessel is:
$131,000
One Hundred Thirty One Thousand Dollars
2. The ''ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST'' indicates the retail cost of a new vessel of the same make/model with similar equipment
offered by the same manufacturer. ''ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST'' of the subject vessel is:
$298,000
Two Hundred Ninety Eight Thousand Dollars
Page 16 of 24
V. SUMMARY AND VALUATION
SUMMARY:
In accordance with the request for a marine survey of the 1999 Sumerset 74' Houseboat, "Pokin A' Long", for the purpose of
evaluating its present condition and estimating its Fair Market Value and Replacement Cost, I herewith submit my conclusion
based on the preceding report. The subject vessel was personally inspected by the undersigned on June 23, 2013 and found to be
a well constructed houseboat in Above Average condition. Subject to correction of deficiencies listed in section IV A. (Safety), and
section IV B. (Other Deficiencies Needing Attention), the "Pokin A' Long" is considered to be suitable for recreational boating.
Other deficiencies list should be attended to in the near future to enhance the appearance and maintenance of vessel.
SURVEYOR'S CERTIFICATION:
I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief:
The statements of fact contained in this report are true and correct.
The reported analyses, opinions, and conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and limiting conditions, and are
my personal, unbiased professional analyses, opinions, and conclusions.
I have no present or prospective interest in the vessel that is the subject of this report, and I have no personal interest or bias
with respect to the parties involved.
My compensation is not contingent upon the reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value or direction in value that
favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate, the attainment of a stipulate result, or the occurrence of a
subsequent event.
I have made a personal inspection of the vessel that is the subject of this report.
This report is submitted without prejudice and for the benefit of whom it may concern.
