MarineMax of Ohio, Inc., the world's largest marine retailer, must pay
a Columbus man $2.5 million for selling a yacht with a hull that had
been severely damaged while saying only minor repairs had been made to
it -- and then refusing to take it back for the purchase price.

State Judge Paul C. Moon of Ottawa County, Ohio awarded triple and
punitive damages, attorneys fees, pre-judgment interest and costs to
Doug Borror, said Borror's attorney, Jim Arnold of Clark Perdue Arnold
& Scott in Columbus. Arnold filed the case under the Ohio Consumer
Sales Practices Act.

Judge Moon called MarineMax's sale in 2002 of a 51-foot 2001 Sea Ray
yacht to Borror for $780,000, "conscious, deliberate, malicious,
deceitful and particularly gross and egregious."


Chuck, could you share a link to that story either here or via email? I
need to send it to an acquaintance and I cannot locate the full story on
google.

Thanks!
Jim

court order are attached to the email.


Thanks but I do not have an AOL account. Anyway, I found the Court document
on line and will pass that along to my friend.

Interesting case. Thanks for bringing it up for discussion.
