Survey done 2023

• Survey Requested By: Captain owner
• Attendants during the survey and seatrial: Undersigned marine surveyor and (1) Vessel owner. 
• Surveyed: While and on the hard at Shelter Island Boat Yard Shelter Island and on the water dockside at Marina and underway on San Diego Harbor San Diego, California. 
• Dates of Survey: June 2nd and July 14th, 2023 
• Owner: Captain owner
• Notes/General: 
• This is a 1958 Stephens 53 as found to be in very good/excellent condition with respect to exterior cosmetics/painted surfaces, interior housekeeping and furnishings, structural integrity, and general operation of mechanical, machinery, electrical, electronic, and plumbing equipment onboard. Vessel hull is white with tan canvas, (1) foredeck escape hatch port lights seals appear to be leak free and bilges dry to lowest pump pickup mostly towel dry. Vessel was sea trialed on San Diego Bay for a period of one hour and at that time a maximum rpm of 2,600 at 23 mph was achieved and maintained after which the vessel was operated at various rpms and performed as general usage would dictate. 
• This vessel is considered of suitable type for Southern California near coastal waters and like waters with respect to seasonal weather, conditions, and fuel range. Further notes and images below. 
• This vessel was originally built and commissioned for Marylou Jefferson, local San Diego philanthropist. In 2011, the vessel hull was completely refit to its original yacht quality of excellence by a local shipwright at Shelter Island Boat Yard here in San Diego. Main engines and generators were replaced, as well as many other upgrades were completed. Upon the passing of Marylou, the vessel was willed to Art (Jr.) Defever (DeFever Yachts), Art carried the responsibility of maintaining the vessel until his untimely passing. The new owner/operator has taken on the responsibility of maintaining the yacht to its high standard of integrity. The vessel remains a classic original and is in exceptional condition.

• General Condition and Valuation Report of Survey 
•  
• The mandatory standards promulgated by the United States Coast Guard (USCG), under the authority of title 46 United States Code, Title33 and 46 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), the voluntary standards and recommended practices developed the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have been used as guidelines in conducting this survey. Valuation is primarily determined by comparison to comparable vessels listed in the Sold Boats.com database but may also be derived from consultation with manufacturers or knowledgeable boat brokers, personal experience, current listings of boats available for sale and commercial boat value guides such as the BUC Valupro, NADA online price guides or Yacht World.com. Current local market values may vary widely from such valuation resources due to current local market conditions. The term “Market Value” is defined by Uniform Standards for professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) standards. Valuations are the opinion of the surveyor, and are intended to be used for insurance and or financing purposes only; they are not intended to influence the purchase or purchaser price of the subject vessel. The undersigned marine surveyor has no interest in the subject vessel, financial or otherwise. 
• This survey sets forth the condition of the vessel as found without removal of bulkheads, paneling or other portions of the structure and without opening the machinery, tankage or secured paneling and with consideration to the USCG, NFPA and ABYC requirements believed applicable. It represents the honest and unbiased opinion of the undersigned, but in no event is to be considered a warranty either specified or implied. This report also takes into consideration the content and format for the standards and practices/care as outlined by the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS) and the National Association of Marine Surveyors (NAMS). 
• The requestor understands that this written portion of the survey has been issued for the purpose of insurance filing, renewal of insurance, lender/financing purposes, marina slip assignment and or general personal knowledge of subject vessel all of which is based solely on the date below. The requestor and any other outside party is not at liberty to alter this report. It is understood that the requestor will not hold the undersigned marine surveyor liable for any reason. 
• A vessel condition and valuation report of survey should be considered a snapshot in time, good for only the day that it is done. After the undersigned marine surveyor has disembarked the vessel, anything can change. 
• Function of a Marine Surveyor: 
• A Marine Surveyor is a person with knowledge of marine facilities, vessels, and equipment who, when requested, conducts inspections, and renders reports concerning conditions found and opinions relative to those conditions at that time of the survey/inspection. Ordinarily the Marine Surveyor has experience, both theoretical and practical, with respect to the vessels, facilities, or equipment subject of concern. The practice of a Marine Surveyor may include condition, damage or repairs to Hull, Machinery, Cargo, and Facilities. To maintain objectivity, it is important the Marine Surveyor does not have economic interest in repair facilities, vessels or other services associated with Marine Trades.
