In the part about implied warranties, even if there is no written
warranty, it says:


I don't doubt that with a shark representation, the OP could force the
dealer into a warranty claim. I admire his choice to accept the prima
facie lack of warranty. I mentioned that he go to the dealer only to see
if the dealer, on general principles (as opposed to being coerced into
it) would assist him.

Sorry my post got things heated, it was good reading though. I do
accept the fact it was sold as-is but the trouble I have was I asked
him right out before I made the deal,"Everything is 100% right? It is
not going to fall apart after I start using it. He answered no, its not
going to fall apart its a good boat, I checked it out, ran it in the
river, repaired the drive everything is working fine. I have no problem
selling you this boat.
That was the conversation. Yes, I have an issue being told it was 100%
but then I have to take some blame by accepting the word of someone I
do not know instead of forcing something in writing.

He is willing to look at it but again he said worry about the cost
later. I think this time I have it spelled out in writing.

You have to understand that any time anyone says anything bad about a
dealer, here, there are a lot of dealer people or dealer's friends who get
all hot under the collar to defend dealers in general. It's all quite
healthy, unless they are too close to you, in range of their guns....(c;

I doubt anybody was angry at you or at each other. How about posting how
it all came out esp what the problem was?

Still in Limbo. I am taking it out to the river tomorrow to test it. I
was just informed I can't even get cooling hoses for it anymore. Most
are molded. So get a leak and its all over. it if runs well and seems
to be ok I will try to sell it. I am a bit scared of not being able to
get parts.

I suspect there is a solution to replacing molded hoses. They are common
enough and there are plenty of old boats / trucks / cars running around
today which used them.

I will leave it to you the ethics of selling something you think is a
timebomb. I expect you learned a lesson. I suppose now it's time for the
next guy in line to learn one.

I would not hide a thing. I would make it clear the boat is 17 years
old and the company is no longer in business. For every person that
tells me the parts are no longer available I have 3 tell me I am just
not looking in the right places. So I guess it comes down to what is
important, a parts outlet at every corner or a cheap boat to play with.
For me I want iron clad part availability. I do not like hunting. I
hate flea markets. I want to call or go into the shop order it and have
it in a few days. I do not want to search ebay for them.

So I guess it is all what you want. Yes, I want a new boat! Now tell my
wife to agree.
