Disclaimer

Potential buyers are advised that this vessel was struck by lightning in July 2021. Following the incident, the boat was professionally inspected and assessed for damage to its hull, electrical systems, and electronics. The hull was found to have no leaks, and the electronic equipment has since been replaced. Specifically, the lightning strike resulted in the damage to the VHF antenna and related wiring, engine electronics as well as AC units which have been repaired. In addition, some internal components and wiring were replaced as well. The owner has documented the repairs and replacements and records are available for review.
