1.INTRODUCTION
The CARIBBEAN SUN is a 1986 42 ft
Aft Cabin Motor Yacht. Manufactured by CHRIS CRAFT YACHTS. The vessel is constructed of FRP(Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) , with large cabin and nice amenities. It is powered by twin Caterpillar Diesel inboards. The aft deck has a Fiberglass Hard Top. The upper deck has the helm with two swivel pedestal helm chairs. On the port side is a Bench seat with vinyl upholstery and access to storage area beneath.
Four steps down from the aft Cockpit is the
Main Salon. On the Starboard side of the salon are the AC and DC control panels as well as the Generator controls. There is an Aft Cabin under the cockpit with a Queen size bed and a Head with Electric toilet , sink and shower. Forward and to the starboard is a full Galley with plentiful countertops , Refrigerator , Microwave and Electric Stove.
On the port side across from the galley is a dinette. There is a V-berth with a double bed and a Head with Electric toilet and a sink.
SCOPE OF SURVEY: Acting at the request of Ian Zimmerman , the surveyor did attend onboard the vessel Caribbean Sun. An Out of the Water survey was requested and performed. The documents were in order. The hull identification number #CCHYBL586 was sighted on the transom. Inspection of underwater machinery and the exterior of the hulls surface area was to ascertain the Present condition and Value of the vessel. Items on board the vessel were surveyed without removal of any parts , partitions , carpets or any other fixed items. Further , no determination of stability characteristics and no opinion is expressed with respect thereto.
CONDUCT OF SURVEY:
This survey was conducted in accordance with the mandatory standards promulgated by the United States Coast Guard Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 33 and Title 46 and the Standards and Recommended Practices developed by the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABC) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) have been used as guidelines in the conduct of this survey.
The values of this vessel as stated in this report are determined
By the use of the BUC and NADA books with condition of vessel and its equipment factored in to determine a fair market value. Any discrepancies detected will be noted in the pertinent section of the report with the use of an asterisk ( * ). More serious discrepancies which pertain to Safety and/or the structural integrity of the vessel will also be listed in detail at the end of the report in the FINDINGS area (Section 22).

Allhave been serviced and new hoses and clamps have been installed throughout!!! One or two people can easily handle this boat- I did and I was alone and not very experienced. She took me 1400 miles up the inter-coastal waterway and recently back 400 miles from NYC to Virgina on the Atlantic ocean.Rides very confidently andpushes the water away from her bow at 36,000 lbs!I reserve the rightto cancel the auction at any timeFAQS1. Q. Whats the boat made out of ? A. Fiberglass2. Saltwater or Freshwater? A. IT can be used in ANY water.

Scratches AND SOME CRACKLING IN THE GEL COAT AROUND A FEW STANCHIONS.( where the stainless steel safety tubing that goes around the boat meets the deck). This is probably the result of people pulling on it when they get on and off the boat. It needs to be re-bedded. Not a big deal. They either drill in deeper or if there is moisture cut it out and replace that area and repaint the spot. I have had this done on my other boat that I own.3. Missing external air vents4. Few gauges not working5. No trim tabs( I had them removed)6. Repack or replace packing glands for rudders or rudder stock ( they are leaking) - speak to the yard - they have an estimate- or do it yourself and save the money!!5.
