1982 55’ CHEOY LEE LONG RANGE MOTOR YACHT

I owned and cruised a 33’ Model Choey Lee offshore for 15 years, in an earlier

time between running repair yards and then my own marine business conducting repairs, restorations and rebuilds on various types and models of yachts.

I have also represented the Lo brothers whose family owns Choey Lee in a

matter concerning one of their 105’ motor yachts, and visited their yard in Hong Kong in years past. I have also fully restored my own Cheoy Lee 33’ offshore

ketch also a 31’ ketch and a 44’ flush deck ketch. Choey Lee has produced thousands of boats, sail, motor yachts and trawlers.

The names and addresses have been redacted on the following survey.

VESSEL MAINTENANCE Excellent: --- Good: XXX, subject to

recommendations Poor: ---

Very Good: --- Fair: --- Undesirable: --- Remarks: The vessel is in good condition but in need of some upgrades related to the following recommendations, sea trial, and engine surveys.

HAUL OUT

At the time of the survey, the vessel was hauled out and had reportedly been out of the water for a few months. Refer to the following advisories and recommendations related to the hull below the waterline. This was the first part of a two part survey hauled out and then afloat and sea trialed: 1.) There are (6) areas of blue tape on the starboard side hull at the garboard. (4) of these are parallel lines. The hull has been re-faired and possibly re-glassed from the chine down to the keel at some point in the past. The hull below the waterline was reported by the broker to have been peeled. Extent unknown. Request repair invoices. The area between the blue parallel lines in the photographs are lifted fairing compound as a result of fairing in the garboard. Some of this lifting compound had bottom paint below it. It will likely taper off down to whatever type of glass or fairing compound below that, but it would be necessary to sweep these areas with a grinder to determine exactly what the material is. It looks as though glass was carried down from the garboard to the side of the keel. Determine the degree of delaminated fairing in the garboard which does not appear to be extensive then prep and clean the keel and route the keel on the bitter ends where the glass terminated at the bottom of the keel. The keel is easily accessible for that type of repair. 2.) Clean the raw water intakes and Sea Chest free of marine growth and also around the tops of the stabilizers. 3.) Replace the paddle wheel. 4.) On the port side forward bow between the chine and the keel, there is a circled area of tape. There is some slight waffling in the hull with about 3”-4” intervals. It appears to be an isolated area. There are some other highs and lows randomly in the hull; however the hull as sounded produced a very uniform sound from the mallet. There does not appear to be any apparent delamination in the hull beyond the areas noted running through the garboard based on a previous repair, glass, and fairing compound from the garboard down to the keel.


14

HAUL OUT The areas that are marked with blue tape are the only areas noted with lifting fairing compound.

SEA TRIAL DATA

In accordance with instructions on December 23, 2011, I proceeded to Hinckley Yacht Services, Thunderbolt, Georgia to conduct a sea trial on the captioned vessel. Present at this meeting were Jeff from Performance Power, Bob, who operated the vessel and has authority to go through the equipment and machinery with me, and Mike Pranschke, general manager of Hinckley Yacht Services. The AC systems were checked on shore power. Both gen sets were run under load. Refer to the following sea trial results and findings. The windlass, swim platform, and crane were all tested and found to be operable. 1.) The DC light in the port side aft stateroom powers up but is off of the mounting base. 2.) The AC outlet in the port side aft stateroom is showing an open ground as tested. 3.) In the starboard side aft stateroom there are Sea Lion components and accumulated tanks. Some of the wiring is showing evidence of having been submerged. At the time of the survey, I was unable to get the vacu-flush heads to function properly or the fresh water to the sinks. The heads ultimately worked sporadically but all need to be cleaned and serviced to include the seals. 4.) Advisory: It was reported to me that water, due to bilge pumps failures, flooded the bilge, reportedly up to the underside of the main engines. Consequently any wiring below that level would have been subject to saltwater intrusion. Have the electrician go through and identify all submerged wires, determine their condition, and address accordingly. I would recommend discussing this with Hinckley Yachts Services. Hinckley washed down the submerged areas and addressed wiring to some extent. I was unaware of this event until the end of the survey when I saw the high water marks in the engine room. 5.) The starboard side vacu-flush head is producing water in the bowl but does not appear to be producing a sufficient vacuum to evacuate the bowl. After flushing a few times, the vacu-flush pump came on and the head functioned properly but still slow to produce water for flushing purposes. 6.) The port side aft stateroom vacu-flush control switch and head initially powered up but then quit producing.


15

SEA TRIAL DATA 7.) The freshwater system operated intermittently. Check the pump, trace problem to source, and repair accordingly. 8.) The windlass is controlled from (3) different stations. There is a glitch in one of the controls that may be blocking the others out. Trace problem to source and repair accordingly. 9.) The swim platform operated. This is hydraulic. 10.) Advisory: All of the galley equipment was tested. The freshwater pump was intermittent and the quit. Tank level monitor indicated low levels. I did not check the 4-burner LPG stove. There was an LPG gas odor around the tanks. I also identified the LPG vapor detector alarm which was powered up but not producing an alarm. I would recommend inspecting the LPG tanks to determine where this odor was coming from. None of the sensors seemed to be picking it up. Inspect the bottles and the lines. Replace the sensors. 11.) Advisory: The alarm system with audio/visual lights in the master stateroom was tested and appeared to function properly. 12.) At sea trial, the Glendenning synchronizer needs adjustment. 13.) The Raymarine model 1250 Plus Chart Plotter produced within a 3mile range but would not expand out. 14.) The Phillips HDTV related to the multi plexer powered up and produced a screen but were unable to operate individual cameras. Ultimately produced a screen. Appears to work, but consult manual to test all functions. 15.) Secure the (4) LPG bottles located on the flybridge against all movement in all directions. 16.) The flybridge canvas is weathered. The portion inspected has cracked glass and broken zippers. Other sections were stored. 17.) There is a vertical crack in the glass on the port side right at the arch support for the wing. In the bulwarks noted with some brown staining. Navigational Lights: The stern light is inoperable. The forward side lights are operable. The spotlights are operable. The masthead lights, unable to determine, directly in the sunlight. Sea Trial: Both main engines and gen sets started readily and appeared to run clean. Performance Power


16

SEA TRIAL DATA conducted engine surveys on all (4) pieces of machinery to include swapping loads between the gen sets. The gen sets were tested under loads. Refer to Performance Power’s report submitted independently. Vibrations noted in the aft stateroom during the sea trial. This vibration is likely related to the galvanic corrosion and general poor condition noted in each main engine shaft propeller. There are (2) spare sets of propellers carried onboard. When the propellers are replaced and the (2) main engine shafts pulled for inspection, I would also notice the offset of the (2) shafts at the coupling as a rough indicator of alignment. I would reinstall the shafts with new cutlass bearings and insure that both sets of spare propellers will in fact fit the existing engine shafts. Check the alignment at that time. The electronics powered up and appeared to perform properly, both stations. During the course of the sea trial which lasted approximately 1 hour, both main engines and both gen sets started readily and performed properly. The gen sets carried normal loads. Refer to Performance Power’s engine surveys. The overhead power vent in the pilothouse functioned properly. All gauges within normal operation range. Speeds: At 2700 RPM’s = 8.5 knots bucking a 2 knot current At 1900 RPM’s = 6.8 knots to 7 knots bucking tide and wind Bridge Top RPM’s Starboard 2669, Port 2700 with the tide10.7 knots Stabilizers appear to function properly. Tachometers at pilothouse have approximately 200 RPM variance.

GENERAL CONDITION

The flybridge electronics powered up. They produced a screen. The vessel was hauled at the time of the survey, consequently beyond powering up all electronics were not tested. Interior: The overall general appearance of the interior of the vessel reflects good housekeeping and generally good maintenance. There are some clouded areas on the interior finish on the walls in the salon which I have photographs. Some other areas are similar to that but no apparent rotten wood and the overall general appearance of the wood and soft goods would be considered serviceable. There are carpets throughout the vessel, in all accommodation spaces. They are


17

GENERAL CONDITION serviceable but showing some age. Gen Sets: The two gen sets appear in like new condition other than some surface rust in the pans, more on the starboard side than the port but beyond that the alternator and diesel end are almost new in appearance. Flybridge: Plywood seats, benches, and structures: There has been some water seepage into the foundation of the seats and other plywood structures on the bride that have seeped up into the ingrain. These areas can be individually repaired by scarfing in new material. It won’t require the removal of any of the structures in total. The flybridge decks were sounded and appear to be free of any delamination. On the wing decks outside of the combing of the flybridge, there are two areas on the port side forward corner of the combing and two areas on the starboard side. Other than that, visually these areas look okay but are in need of prepping and priming. Some other small areas might need repair but in general they are acceptable cosmetically.

# REMARKS RECOMMENDATIONS 1. The swim platform is rigged on a mechanical

lift, aluminum housing. There is electrolysis or galvanic corrosion in the portion of aluminum that was submerged. This is evident in the base of the main track and the support arms.

Refer to the manufacturer and repair accordingly.

2. The swim platform is teak grating rigged on I-beams.

The teak grating is broken in numerous places and will require rebuilding.

3. The four blade bronze propellers mounted on the shafts are thin, bent, and show signs of galvanic corrosion.

The propellers should be sent to a prop shop. The starboard propeller has more galvanic corrosion than the port. There are bent tips on both.

4. There are three blade bronze propellers stored underneath the swim platform.

Condition unknown.

5. There are halos in the antifouling paint around the bar zinc on the transom, the two main engine exhaust outboard mounting flanges, struts. This is a type of electrical current reacting with the metals in the antifouling paint.

Address the bonding/grounding system throughout. Check for continuity.

6. The main engine shafts and shaft cutters have been sand blasted. The same with the vee struts and rudders. There are rust deposits on the struts, rudders, and rudder post housings.

Considering the rust deposits that have developed, I would recommend fully prepping all of the underwater running gear, applying barrier coat primers


18

# REMARKS RECOMMENDATIONS These rust deposits have occurred since the underwater running gear was sandblasted. These appear to be stainless steel construction.

compatible with this metal, and topcoat.

7. Zincs. Renew zincs throughout. Presently (2) rudder zincs, (1) bar zinc, and (1) port side shaft zinc are largely wasted.

8. Raw water. Clean all of the underwater through hull fittings and intakes free of marine growth.

9. The paddle wheel for speed starboard side forward has one missing blade and the housing around the propeller is bent.

Repair or discontinue.

10. The aft strakes to either side, just above the waterline, need to be prepped, primed, and painted, both sides.

Address accordingly.

11. The port side stabilizer is pinned, the starboard side is not.

Test the stabilizers at sea trial.

12. Bottom. Sand, prep, and paint the hull below the waterline.

13. The hull is weathered and based on appearance has been painted with a polyurethane topcoat at some point in the past.

The topside hulls are in need of painting at this time. Compounding and waxing would improve the appearance in the mean time.

14. There is trim just below the bulwarks as observed on the outside, teak. There is lifting paint on this teak channel which is the cap rail.

Prep, prime, and paint.

15. The brightwork on the vessel has weathered and reveals lifting varnish throughout.

All of the exterior brightwork will need to be prepped and rebuilt with sufficient coats.

16. The electric motors on the lift for the swim platform have some discontinued wires.

Service the lift to include the electric motors.

17. In addition to the lower aft strakes, the rub rail will have to be stripped and painted.


18. Foredeck. Replace the foredeck cushions, (3) sets of 2.

19. The power cord to the handheld VHF on the bridge is deteriorated.

Replace the cord.

20. ACR EPIRB. Have the EPIRB inspected. 21. Flare Kit. Upgrade the flare kit. 22. Packing Glands. Service both main engine shaft packing

glands. They are presently drawn down 80%

# REMARKS RECOMMENDATIONS through their travel, both sides.

23. The shafts on the exterior have been sandblasted. As viewed from the interior, the shafts are showing rust perforations and corrosion just forward of the packing gland.

Based on the age of the vessel and if no history is known related to the shafts, I would recommend pulling the shafts to address the corrosion that is obvious around the packing gland and also check the main strut and bearings at that time. With the propellers removed you will be able to see the tail pieces of the shaft to determine that condition.

24. There are heavy water stains at the head of the vee berth bunk, brown stain over approximately 1 square foot running down from the anchor locker.

There are stains in the anchor locker likely related to this. Refer to photographs of anchor locker.

25. The chain locker has two spots of moisture intrusion based on stains on the port side of the chain locker and one on the starboard side. Two of the three are in the corners of the chain locker partition separating it from the vee berth. Accessible to view from the forward stateroom with the baffle boards removed from the back of the chain locker.


26. There is a tank on top of the port side fuel tank in the engine room. This looks like a hydraulic tank. The components on the top of the tank need to be cleaned up.


27. Stabilizers. Based on appearance, the stabilizers need to be serviced. There is some fluid on the top of the port one. The upper flange of the Naiad is secured with Allen head bolts. Some of these are rusted on the lower inboard side. There are hoses and components in direct contact with the stabilizers. These should be pulled back and secured.

28. In discussion with the yard, the two Onan gen sets were installed approximately 3 years ago. The starboard side gen set has a water leak on one of the hoses visible on the port side of the engine.

This appears to be related to a clamp on a hose. Investigate the leak, repair accordingly, and clean up the pans.

29. On the port side of the black water tank in the passageway, there is a hose that is

# REMARKS RECOMMENDATIONS detached from another hose as pictured in the photographs. At the time of the survey, there was a motor that was running.

renew clamps as needed. The majority of the clamps are in acceptable condition. The sanitation hoses also are serviceable.

30. There are numerous wires associated with the sending units on the tank.

These should be sorted out and bundled neatly.

31. Packing glands. Have the two main engine shaft packing glands serviced.

32. Inline strainers. Clean all four inline strainers for the two mains and the gen sets.

33. There are numerous wires on both main engines in direct chafe.

These wires should be inspected by a marine electrician and Chafe Guard installed on all wire runs to include the principle runs on the inboard stringer of the port engine.

34. There are Rule 2000 bilge pumps as noted. As tested in the engine room, the forward of the bilge pumps was inoperable on the float switch. The one aft of that functioned properly.

Go through the vessel. Clean the engine room bilge. Test the existing pumps for possible replacement and test the high water alarm.

35. There are hoses located in the centerline bilge in the engine room that need replacing.

Replace to include the raw water intake hoses from the Sea Chest to the two primary inline strainers and the hoses between the strainers and the Sea Chest dedicated to the gen sets. There are surface cracks in theses hoses and other hoses. There are also other hoses that are hardened, some showing bulges and cracks. Go through all hoses in the engine room and address as needed.

36. Gen set muffler. Replace the hose clamps on the starboard side generator at the muffler and check the port at that time.

37. Main engines exhaust and hose clamps. Replace the hose clamps on the starboard engine exhaust at the exit in the starboard aft corner of the engine room. There is an exhaust leak and the majority of the T-style clamps are badly rusted. Same thing with the port engine exhaust.

38. Fixed fire extinguishing system. The fixed fire extinguishing system needs to be inspected. It is equipped with a remote readout, engine override, and engine stop in the pilothouse.


21

# REMARKS RECOMMENDATIONS 39. In the aft head, forward of the engine room,

in the bilge, there is a Scott pump going into a 6-section manifold. The principle hose coming into this pump is detached. The pump looks relatively new.

Re-attach and test.

40. The starboard side guest stateroom with double bunks in it has a partition at the desk separated out from the hull approximately ¼”. This has resin at the partition to the hull. Evidence of some shifting.

Under the starboard side guest stateroom bunk, there is a head component. The hose clamp securing it is broken. Other hose clamps in the area below the bunk need to be addressed.

41. There is a drawer in the starboard forward head that is off of the frame located just below the vacu-flush switch.

Repair.

42. The valance in the starboard lower stateroom is detached.

Repair accordingly.

43. There are leaks coming into the starboard forward head cabinetry above the vacu-flush head. This is based on brown water stains.

As a result of this leak, the base of the cabinetry, ply construction is soft and rotten and will need to be cropped out and replaced.

44. There are some scratches in the veneer on the spiral staircase leading down to the lower deck. This was a result of the generators being installed and bumping up against it.

This can be addressed cosmetically.

45. Overall, the opening ports look good. There are some minimal water traces.

Address as needed.

46. Rudder post packing glands. Service both rudder post packing glands. Wire brush the body of the rudder post packing glands in addition to general service.

47. There are approximately 20 iron construction pigs located below the master stateroom bunk. These are being used for ballast.

The concern would be point loading the hull in this area with too much weight. Disperse the pigs out and secure in place against movement.

48. CO Detectors. Install CO Detectors throughout all accommodation spaces.

49. Zippers. Replace the zippers on the flybridge seat covers.

50. Flybridge starboard side molded in bench seat: There is rot extending over approximately 24” x 10” in the base of the seat where it meets the deck.

Crop out. There could be more soft wood not found without disassembly.


22

# REMARKS RECOMMENDATIONS There is soft and rotten wood in the corner of the partition immediately forward of the flybridge grill. This extends from the outboard corner down around the base of the molded in port side bench seat on the aft end. Also some soft wood noted in the plywood box around the grill on the flybridge and on the scupper drain, port aft corner of the combing for the flybridge. There is soft wood noted in the starboard side forward end of the bench seat just aft of the mate seat. There is randomly soft wood in the plywood around the bench seats on the flybridge to include the LPG locker and the box housing the grill.

Most of these areas can be repaired individually without requiring rebuilding the majority of the structure. All of the exterior seams around these flybridge seats and others should be reefed and re-caulked.

51. Flybridge cushions. Replace the flybridge cushions 52. The Plexiglas cover for the flybridge

instrumentation and gauges is clouded. Replace it and insure the new gasket is sealed properly.

53. Caulking. Renew the caulking around the forward deckhouse, bench seats, and other areas previously caulked.

54. On the interior bulwarks, starboard side inboard immediately below the cap rail and outboard of the pilothouse door, there is a 6” crack running down from the cap rail as sounded. There is softness around it.

It appears to be isolated. Address accordingly.

55. There are some paint blisters below the port side pilothouse door. The area appears solid.

Address the blisters and prep, prime, and paint accordingly.

56. The paint is peeling on the threshold of the starboard side gate. Looking from there to the molding, the paint is peeling, the wood appears solid except in a few places which are retaining dampness.

Prep and paint.
