No additional information currently reported.

Buyer Considerations

These points help a buyer focus verification on what Marine Passport's current evidence supports for this vessel.

A Marine Passport is not a substitute for a professional marine survey, mechanical inspection, or sea trial. Before purchasing any used vessel, Marine Passport strongly recommends having the vessel inspected by qualified professionals and conducting an appropriate sea trial.

  • Accidents & damage

    Review the reported damage and available supporting evidence with the seller and a qualified marine surveyor. Confirm the nature and extent of any repairs before purchase.

  • Recall applicability

    Review the identified recall records and verify whether any apply to this vessel or its installed machinery and, if applicable, whether corrective work was completed.

  • Known-issue applicability

    Verify whether the identified known issue applies to the vessel's installed machinery or configuration.

  • Confirm applicable maintenance

    The installed machinery is not established, so the applicable maintenance schedule is not established. Identify the installed machinery and compare its records against the Service & Maintenance guidance.

  • Review Documentation & Identity History

    Available records show a change in the vessel's recorded name from Second Wind to Serenity. Verify the vessel's documentation history and confirm that the current name, HIN, official number, and other identifying records are consistent with the vessel being evaluated.

  • Review Prior Operating Geography

    Available records show the vessel was previously documented with a Fort Lauderdale, Florida hailing port, and U.S. Coast Guard records identify activity at Station Fort Lauderdale. Later records show a Chicago, Illinois hailing port. This history provides evidence of prior operation in a coastal saltwater environment before the vessel was later recorded in the Great Lakes region. If the vessel is represented as a “freshwater boat,” verify the extent of prior saltwater use and consider that history during the survey, mechanical inspection, and maintenance review.
