Survey

PRE-PURCHASE SURVEY

This is the most comprehensive type of inspection, and is strongly advised when purchasing a new or used vessel .
Condition and the overall operation of the vessel should be examined.
This would include such items as structural integrity, out of water inspection, sea trials, electrical systems, propulsion system, fuel system, machinery, navigation, and misc. on board systems, cosmetic appearance, electronics, and overall maintenance. Book value

INSURANCE SURVEY

This inspection is performed so that the insurance company can determine whether or not the vessel is an acceptable risk.
They are interested in structural integrity and safety for its intended use.
Most insurance companies require a survey on older boats.
They will also want to know the vessel's fair market value.

Inspections

APPRAISAL INSPECTION

This inspection is performed to gather enough information to justify or determine the fair market value of the vessel or snowmobile
This is normally needed for financing, estate settlements, donations, and legal cases.

DAMAGE INSPECTION also know as a “full evaluation”

This is performed to assess the extent of damage, recommend repairs, estimated repair cost, and record the cause.
