I. INTRODUCTION
SCOPE OF SURVEY
Acting at the request of Sample, the attending surveyor did attend onboard the 1998 J 120, Sample on
the May 20, 2015 from 0750 to 1230 where an "out-of-water" and an "in-water" surveywas conducted at .
The survey included the underwater machinery, the exterior of the hull including the wetted surface area,
the topsides, and the interior. The reason for the survey, was to ascertain the physical condition and
value of the vessel. Current years' ship's papers were not on board at the time of the survey, USCG
Documentation Pending. The Hull Identification Number (HIN) was verified from the transom. Percussion
soundings and moisture readings were taken approximately every eighteen inches covering the hull and
deck. Moisture readings were taken with the Tramex Skipper Plus Moisture Meter and the moisture
meter was re-calibrated the day of the survey. DC power was used to check operation of the electrical
systems specified in this report on a power-up only basis. No reference or information should be
construed to indicate evaluation of the internal condition of the engines or the propulsion system's
operating capacity.
This vessel was surveyed utilizing non-destructive methods without removals of any parts, including
fittings, tacked carpet, screwed or nailed boards, anchors and chain, fixed partitions, instruments,
clothing, spare parts and miscellaneous materials in the bilges and lockers, or other fixed or semi-fixed
items. Locked compartments or otherwise inaccessible areas would also preclude inspection.
Purchaser is advised to open up all such areas for further inspection. Further, no determination of
stability characteristics or inherent structural integrity has been made and no opinion is expressed with
respect thereto. This survey report represents the condition of the vessel on the above dates, and is the
unbiased opinion of the undersigned, but it is not to be considered an inventory or a warranty either
specified or implied.
NOTE: It is noted and understood that the diesel engine is to be surveyed by a qualified technician from
Gaines Marina to determine the condition of the engine, gears and pumps, heat exchangers, coolers,
etc.

I. INTRODUCTION
VESSEL DESCRIPTION
J/Boats was started by Rod Johnstone and his brother Bob Johnstone with a speedy 24 foot sailboat.
Eventually Everett Pearson, a highly respected boat builder of Warren Rhode Island, along with his
brother Bob became intrigued with this design and they joined forces. Thus with Rod contributing the
designs they expanded their selection of sailboats which eventually included a 40 footer called the J 120.
The J 120 is a racer/cruiser sailboat with more emphasis on racer then with the accumulation of
amenities for a cruiser. With its relatively narrow beam with its width starting well forward towards the
bow it moves quite well on a beam or downwind reach, while giving up very little on a tight windward
point. The J 120 has a thin 7 foot fin keel with a bulb and a balanced spade rudder along with moderate
sheer.
On deck, there are wide side decks along providing plenty of room, hand holds, and footholds and plenty
of room forward for when it is necessary to work on deck. This will be rare as this boat is set up to
accommodate shorthanded sailing with almost all the lines leading to the cockpit. The cockpit is
reasonably spacious with a 40 inch Edson wheel that allows the helmsman to maneuver outboard. There
are dual lazarettes with one being a designated LPG locker. The port locker is deep but has walk-in
access through a door aft of the galley.
Starting forward below is a reasonably large v-berth cabin with a privacy door along with a private
entrance to the shared head. Moving aft on the starboard side is the head and shower liner. Further aft is
the main saloon with two settees and a dining table. Further aft on the port side is the reasonably sized
galley that has stainless steel sink with pressurized water, stove and oven, and a microwave. Opposite
the galley on the starboard side is a well sized nav station where all the electrical panels are located.
Moving further aft on the starboard side underneath the cockpit seats is the aft cabin. The engine is
located amidships with access provided from either side as well as by removal of the companionway
stairs.

V. SUMMARY AND VALUATION
STATEMENT OF OVERALL VESSEL RATING OF CONDITION:

It is the surveyor's experience and research that develops an opinion of the OVERALL VESSEL
RATING OF CONDITION after a the survey has been completed and the findings have been organized
in a logical manner.
The grading of condition developed by BUC RESEARCH and accepted in the marine industry
determines the adjustment to the range of base values in the BUC USED BOAT PRICE GUIDE for a
similar vessel sold within a given time period. Further research and considerations to determine the
condition and establish Market Value were undertaken and include: internet research to establish similar
boats of comparable conditions and prices; Buc Value Pro Used Boat Price Guide; ABOS Marine Blue
Book; and NADA Guide .
The following is the accepted marine grading system of condition:
''EXCELLENT (BRISTOL) CONDITION'', is a vessel that is maintained in mint or bristol fashion -

usually better than factory new - loaded with extras - a rarity.
''ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION'', has had above average care and is equipped with extra electrical
and electronic gear.
''AVERAGE CONDITION'', ready for sale requiring no additional work and normally equipped for her
size.
''FAIR CONDITION'', requires usual maintenance to prepare for sale.
''POOR CONDITION'', substantial yard work required and devoid of extras.
''RESTORABLE CONDITION'', enough of hull and engine exists to restore the boat to usable
condition.
As a result of my investigation, as shown in the SYSTEMS AND FINDINGS AND

RECOMMENDATIONS section of this REPORT OF SURVEY, and by virtue of my experience, my
opinion is

VALUATION:
VALUATION:
Following USPAP standards for a valuation of the above vessel, the details are as follows.
VALUATION PROBLEM: Establish Market Value for the subject vessel, a 1998 J 120.
TYPE OF VALUE: Market Value
SCOPE OF WORK: Perform a Pre-purchase Survey, research comparable sales values, determine
market value.
COST APPROACH: Not applicable for a production boat.
MARKET SALES COMPARISONS: All vessels used for sale's comps are J 120 offered for sale in the
USA and Canada. The vessels will be listed by year and asking price and chosen as representing the
condition of the subject vessel. The data will be mathematically averaged and blended with established
"Book Values" and actual sales data to arrive at an estimated market value for the vessel taking into
account vessel condition. Note: : A number of J 120's were available out of the country but were not
included in average.
Asking Price - Year

169,000 1999 CA
169,000 1999 NY
165,000 1998 MA
143,000 1997 (not included in average, carbon spars, outside US.)
200,000 1997 (not included in average, outside US.)
167,666 Average asking price - Assumption #1

150,890 Theoretic Selling Price - Assumption #2
Actual Sales Data From soldboats.com (Note: Sales data is entered voluntarily by broker and not
confirmed. Boats sold before 2015 would have been considered 'newer' at time of sale and warranted
a higher purchase price. Limited current sales.)

1998 148,000 - 162,500 BucValPro in 'Better Condition' (155,250 avg.)
$ 151,500 Blended Market Value = Theoretic selling prices + actual sales average + book value =
and averaged.
ASSUMPTIONS:

#1. Since the actual condition of Market Comparison vessels cannot be firmly established, BUC -
Average Condition shall be assumed for those vessels, even though the noted vessel above appeared
to have extras on the respective listing.
#2. The formula deducting 10% from the blended average asking price, due to the fact that the asking
price is rarely paid and 10% less than the average asking price is an industry rule of thumb for
estimating the actual selling value.
#3. With NADA valuation of $103,500, it is low in consideration of their own 'Value Comments': Note:
Vessels in exceptional condition can be worth a significantly higher value than the Average Retail Price
shown. Therefore, the NADA valuation has not been included in the blended average shown above
RECONCILIATION OF VALUE INDICATORS: The expressed Market Value contained within this report
is blended to take into account location, fresh water, condition, Average but not with extras, and the
information researched above.
OVERALL VESSEL RATING:

AVERAGE

STATEMENT OF VALUATION:
1. The ''FAIR MARKET VALUE'' is the most probable price in terms of money which a vessel should
bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller,
each acting prudently, knowledgeably and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus.
Implicit in this definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title
from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:
a. Buyer and seller are typically motivated.
b. Both parties are well informed or well advised, and each acting in what they consider their own best
interest.
c. A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market.
d. Payment is made in terms of cash in U.S. dollars or in terms of financial arrangements comparable
thereto; and
e. The price represents a normal consideration for the vessel sold unaffected by special or creative
financing or sales concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.
Therefore, after consideration of the reliability of the data, the extent of the necessary adjustments and
condition of the vessel, it is your surveyor's opinion that the ''FAIR MARKET VALUE'' of the subject
vessel is:
$151,500
One Hundred Fifty One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
2. The ''ESTIMATED REPLACEMENT COST'' indicates the retail cost of a new vessel of the same
make/model with similar equipment offered by the same manufacturer. ''ESTIMATED
REPLACEMENT COST'' of the subject vessel is:
$616,500
Six Hundred Sixteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars

SUMMARY:
In accordance with the request for a marine survey of Sample, for the purpose of evaluating its present
condition and estimating its Fair Market Value and Replacement Cost, I herewith submit my conclusion
based on the preceding report. The subject vessel was personally inspected by the undersigned on May
20, 2015 and was found to be a well constructed, appointed and comfortable vessel. The vessel
appears cosmetically average for a vessel of this age. Subject to correction of deficiencies listed in
section IV A. (Safety), the vessel is considered to be suitable for its intended use. Other deficiencies
listed should be attended to in a timely fashion.

SURVEYOR'S CERTIFICATION:
I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief:
The statements of fact contained in this report are true and correct.
The reported analyses, opinions, and conclusions are limited only by the reported assumptions and
limiting conditions, and are my personal, unbiased professional analyses, opinions, and conclusions.
I have no present or prospective interest in the vessel that is the subject of this report, and I have no
personal interest or bias with respect to the parties involved.
My compensation is not contingent upon the reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that
favors the cause of the client, the amount of the value estimate, the attainment of a stipulated result, or
the occurrence of a subsequent event.
I have made a personal inspection of the vessel that is the subject of this report.
This report is submitted without prejudice and for the benefit of whom it may concern.
