Sample report

What a Hullmark report will show.

A history report for a used yacht, built from the people who did the work. The boat below is made up. The layout is the report we are building.

This is a sample. The boat, the names and every fact below are invented to show the layout. Some of the checks shown here are still being built.

What to know before you go further.

  • The listing understates the engine hours. The advert says about 3,100 hours. A yard recorded 3,610 and 3,655 six months earlier. Ask the seller to explain the difference.
  • The boat grounded in 2021. The starboard keel was repaired by a yard and a later survey found the repair sound. Ask your surveyor to look at it again.
  • Eight months with no service records. Nothing is on file between March and November 2025, the first months of private ownership. Ask what was done in that time.
  • The charter years are well documented. The fleet supplied its maintenance log for all five seasons. That is better evidence than most privately owned boats can show.

What to do with this.

Ask the seller

  • Why does the listing show fewer engine hours than the yard recorded?
  • What maintenance was done between March and November 2025?
  • Has the standing rigging been replaced since the 2025 survey?

Ask your surveyor

  • Inspect the starboard keel repair and take moisture readings.
  • Check the soft spots in the cockpit sole noted in two surveys.
  • Read the engine hour meters and compare them with this report.
