Question: Looking to purchase a boat that Was hit by lightning several years ago(2010). Should this have been disclosed? It is an older boat, 1990, and most every piece of electronics was replaced - looking at the invoices. Should that give me piece of mind, or is it "Buyer Beware?" Found out about the lightning while asking some questions of the Company that installed the electronics. Some electrical issues presented during the survey, tripping breaker underway on Generator while calling for AC. Surveyor says, "neutral / grounding issue and Boat needs a good going over from a reputable Marine Electrician." What Say the Forum? The boat did cruise quite a bit up until about 3 years ago.
Thanks,
KIM
