considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:


If he's a dealer, which I now suspect, he didn't do anything illegal.
There seems to be way more cloak-and dagger stuff going on here for
something not to be borderline crooked, if not entirely illegal.

Trust me, as a buyer, I got on the wrong end of one of these deals and
you don't want to go there.....

If he sells the boat (with whatever representations he deems
appropriate) and pulls a disappearing act, the two signers of the
paperwork are likely left to duke it out..... You and Whomever....


Good point. I am not overly concerned because fundamentally I know the
boat and engine are fine. But, your point is well taken.

Let's say the brokers friend asks if he could use the boat for a day or
two and is involved in a fatal accident. Open your wallet because you
are legally the owner of that boat.

You should give your attorney a call on this.


I think one can get carried away with all the "what ifs". Stuff like that
can happen just by having someone fall on your doorstep trying to sell you
something. That's one of the reasons our lawyer set up some kind of
limited liability corporation that technically "owns" our worldly
possessions. Otherwise, if someone stubs his toe climbing into your boat he
can go after your house. It's crazy, but apparently happens.

I just bought 51% of that LLC for $10 from your lawyer. I expect that
diesel truck to be delivered here by the end of next week.

Speaking of diesel trucks, one of my ex-pat retiree buddies, who lives
in Costa Rica, just bought for $18,000, a very nice four-seater Kia
diesel pickup truck. Not a model sold in this country.
