a. Front Full View
b. Rear Full View
2. Right Side/Left Side Full View
Take several steps away from the side of the watercraft. Center the frame of the photo to capture the entire vessel straight on in one shot and eliminate as much of the background as possible. The following photos are required:

7. VIN
Locate the manufacturer sticker on the vessel. Position the camera directly in front of the sticker. Zoom in toward the printed text. Eliminate as much background as possible. For best results, you may need to take 2-3 extra photos. Be sure to check your photos before you leave the site to verify that the numbers are visible.

Inspect the exterior and interior of the watercraft. Actively look for dents, scratches, or signs of damage. Zoom into the location of any damage and take a straight on shot. Eliminate any glare from the sun as well as unwanted background images. Be sure to note the damage in the 'comments section' of the report and provide approximate measurements and a description of the location of the damage.
