Lanlubbers beware

The plaintiffs put down a deposit on a boat the defendant was selling. They said they would only buy it if their mechanic checked it out, but he found three holes. They’re suing for a refund on the deposit. The defendant argues that he told the plaintiffs the hull had been damaged and repaired. He said he transported the boat to show it to them and gave them a long tour, so he doesn’t think he owes. He’s countersuing for boat transport, winterization, and depreciation.

Common sense tells you if the hull shows cosmetic patching it's a repair of damage. If this couple has been boating for 30 years - they would know that.

Interesting how so many people seem to have lawyers hovering in the background when they want to try and intimidate another. If the plaintiff didn't want to pay $1000 to have the boat inspected before giving the deposit, he sure wouldn't be paying an attorney for legal advice or action, lol.

[@eisbeinGermany]

i agree

[@KSakamoto]

Yeah the defendant called his bluff when he was like “oh perfect, have your lawyer talk to my lawyer then.” 😂

[@jennifer_mertens]

Apparently, 16k is waaay below the going price for that boat, that's why the Plaintiff jumped on it. Wouldn't that imply that the price reflects the condition? Isn't it the Plaintiff's fault for underestimating the cost for repairs and not taking it for a inspection BEFORE paying? Plus, the Defendant disclosed all the issues(he didn't hide them), the Plaintiff just had a b0ner for the inexpensive selling price. Fair ruling.

It shows your character whereas the defendant was more than generous.

[@marleonetti7]

just more fake people pretending to be rich but got no cash . when they realized they could not come up with the money then they cancelled and they are most likely not boaters but people who thought they could pay a low price for something that they could resell quickly for a few thousand in profit .

I think the "glass man" grossly overestimated what the repair would be. It would be EASIER to remove everything and flip it, but there's no reason you can't repair even a big hole in the hull. That said, the Plaintiff was obviously trying to make the deal contingent on an inspection without telling the Defendant.

Smh 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@faile66]

Nah, it's the way he did it. He acted in bad faith, basically locking up the "good deal" for himself (the deposit took the boat off the market) , whist assuming that he could get his $ back if he backed out. You need to get it inspected FIRST, before the purchase (deposit is part of the purchase). She explains it well at around 12mins.

[@ZA-wm6mm]

Always pay for a survey for older boats over 28'. Especially if it's one where people will be sleeping. Carbon monoxide can be an issue. At the very least, the peace of mind will always be worth it.

[@DonziGT230]

A survey won't protect you from CO, and there's no logical reason to only recommend surveys to a boat over a certain length.

[@perfectlyimperfect9129]

​@@DonziGT230Do you just feel like arguing with somebody today?Is that it ? You can have any space tested for carbon monoxide , The boat owner can also get detectors just like in a home. I think you should always get anything inspected by a professional before you buy it if it's Used no matter how old it is. It's a proof in fact that things break down over time So I would say if it's twenty eight years or older I would definitely Be concerned.

[@Liv2Pnt]

@DonziGT230 surveys, if done by a certified surveyor, can spot things that can turn into CO risks. And larger boats are more likely to have sleeping quarters. Sleeping quarters with CO issues are obviously a concern. Any decent boat insurance agent or company will make you get a survey on larger vessels as part of their underwriting.

[@DanLee8884]

I am confused by this ruling. What happened to "you bought is as is?" So, the defendant keeps the deposit bc the deal was done but the boat isn't sold bc he didn't deposit the check? It's seems like both can't be true.
