Surveyor's summary
The vessel was a 1990 Bayliner 3888 flybridge motor yacht with 175 hp diesel inboards — modified-V planing hull, full keel, transom-ended design in fiberglass, with a lower-station helm. From examination afloat and hauled of the accessible areas, the vessel appeared sound with no evidence of structural damage. Stringers were sound with no sign of water damage. Subject to correction of the Section A and B deficiencies, the surveyor considered the vessel suitable for her intended use.
