  This survey checks for compliance with U.S. Coast Guard regulations, ABYC, NFPA standards and practices, and general structural condition.  It does not cover defects which could not readily be discovered by inspection without removal of machinery, tanks, sheathing, joinerwork, upholstery, bulkheads, ceiling, fascia, or other fixed material or any area requiring disassembly to obtain access.  Electronics will be checked for power up condition but operational functions will not be tested.  External systems connected to the engine will be examined but the internal condition of the engine will require a mechanical survey by a qualified mechanic and will not be a part of this survey.  On a sailboat the surveyor will not go up the mast.  A through inspection of the boat will be conducted but due to access and time restrictions, an absolutely 100% complete inspection is not possible.  Our surveyor will exercise due care but we can never guarantee that we will find every defect.
