DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
CHARDONNAY sustained damage in July of 2022 from a leak caused by a marina placing a strap from the travel lift over the prop shaft creating a way for water to leak into the vessel. The leak was discovered within hours, and Chardonnay was immediately hauled and the water removed. All the wiring and mechanical parts that were exposed to salt water have been replaced and there is no evidence of any remaining problems caused by the leak. However, seller is willing to warrant for one year from purchase all electrical and mechanical systems from damage that can be reasonably related to exposure to saltwater leaking into the vessel and to create an escrow fund of $20,000 to cover the cost of any repairs made necessary by exposure to salt water.
