You got an eight day rental of a canoe for $220.00 The boat took a
ding.
If that was a rental you would pay the rental and the agencie would
have your card and you would pay the repair, likely at a reduced rate
but you would pay it.
After having the boat for more than a week, damaging it and questioning
the repair I would be inclined to wonder where I am coming from if I
was the borrower.
You are grudging giving your friend a shiny boat back after damaging
it.
I get to borrow a government truck for a youth group i am involved
with. When I bring it back it is washed, vacuumed, the oil is checked
and it is filled. ( Government Gas )
I would fix it graciously and hope my buddy does not see this
posting...
