Trails. ZF BW195V drive HP(engines) 1000bhp each.
The engines are fresh water cooled via raw water heat exchangers and have wet exhaust systems extending through the hull sides near transom, port and starboard. They drive through compatible marine reduction gears (ZF V drives) and through straight steel shafts to fixed-blade propellers.
The engines were inspected cold. They appeared to be in generally sound condition and reasonably well maintained. There were no indications of major oil or water leaks or any other damage or deterioration of a nature deemed liable to inhibit their operational efficiency. Oil samples, visually inspected at the dipsticks appeared satisfactory.
(note: engine hr. gauge not working. noted hrs. inaccurate.)
NOTE: - This mechanical overview was undertaken visually. If a more
technical or intensive mechanical survey is required is recommended that an
inspection of the engines and power-train be undertaken by a competent
engineer to verify the results of this inspection.
External Inspection
The vessel's hull was inspected while hauled and hung in slings, allowing good visual access to all exterior areas. Where inspected it was found to be in basically sound condition. Vessel was designed for use as a military/governmental patrol boat and appears to be constructed with this use in mind. Vessel is hard chined with a secondary chine doubling as a lifting strake. Fittings include rubber rubbing band around outer
gunwale.

C-2 CONCLUSIONS
From the results of this visual inspection it appears that the VESSEL is in
fundamentally sound structural condition.
There are no visible indications of impact damage. A small area of apparent repair of the
hull was sighted on starboard side of vessel, as noted in report.
There are some wiring deficiencies as noted in the report that should be attended to.
As noted, all rusting hose clamps should be replaced.
All safety items should be inspected and brought up to current status.
The rotted wood in ceiling panels and around noted deck hatch openings should be
attended to before wood rot spores spread.
The deteriorated caulking around the portholes and windows should be attended to
before leakage causes more damage.
Visual inspection of the engine room and lazerette found the vessel's mechanical
systems in satisfactory condition.
As a whole, the vessel presented a good appearance, with the exceptions as noted in the
Defect Summery.
As stated, the structural and mechanical condition of the vessel is fair to good.
The VESSEL, in the opinion of the attending surveyor, will make a good Fire and
Marine Risk, with attention to the recommendations in the Defect Summary.
The vessel is unique in that she was originally constructed as part of a set of two Patrol boats. The engineering is of a high standard and was vessel was reportably constructed to meet Lloyds Register requirements for military or patrol vessels. Upon discontinuance of the original purpose of build and before entering service, the vessel was finished out as a yacht.
Additional
In addition to the yacht, there is a 3/4 acre double plot with 150' waterfront dock and easy ocean access. Ask for more information.
