Don't Forget What You Saw
Walk aboard prepared. Walk off with notes you can use in your offer.
You already know what to check at a boat viewing. What's missing is the order. The Boat Viewing Day Card puts the day on one page: what to pack, ten points in walking order, and a box for every finding.

Before
Pack the bag from the list and write what she is for.

Aboard
Walk the ten points in order. Write where, what you saw and the photo number. Couldn't reach one? Write NOT ACCESSED.

Afterwards
Send the survey brief: what you saw, what you couldn't reach, what to establish. Your offer comes later, from the same list.
