it is pathetic how many people are just plain liars today. makes me ashamed of what our generation has become. just disgusted. isn't there one honest person left in this world ? maybe not for you guys, but for me it is a lot of money buying even a used boat to try and take a tiny bit of stress out of life and then you have to get taken for a ride besides . sorry for your loss. i am sure being a credible person you will take the hit on resale while these fine church folk laugh all the way to the bank. just sickening
Already sold the boat with full disclosure. I spent $150 for my marina mechanic to match hour meters with ECM numbers on motors. What sucked is that my 160 ish hour boat actually had 210 ish hours when I sold it. Yes only 50 hours but I think there is something mental about buying a boat with hours in the 1 hundreds vs. 2 hundreds. GET A SURVEY NO MATTER HOW MUCH SMOKE A SELLER AND HIS MECHANIC BLOW UP YOUR A$$! Lesson learned...

Scarab,
I realize that when the ecms get scanned they give you the engine data, but the ECUs identify engine hours and only engine hours not "boat" hours, change out the little mechanical hour meter that is either located on the dash or in the engine compartment and it appears the boat is a low hour boat.
There is no hull hour meter, is what I was trying to say in my previous post.
There could be a whole lot more hours on the boat hull than the 80 hours swapped out motors are saying.

well , it sounds like he already sold it . wow wasn't that fun ! that boat will bring back fond memories huh ? these guys kill me. you should have known better like it's your fault ! these people in my opinion have the same attitude and are the same type of people you were dealing with . i and you it seems are of a different attitude . it would never cross my mind to do this to someone so i cannot imagine someone doing this to me or anyone else . i have been in your spot so i know the feeling ! but you should not be embarrassed to be an honest person . if more people were like you this problem would not exist . i would have taken the same chance. how much could be wrong with 30 hours on it . but you were dealing with low life scumbags . oops i mean fine god fearing people . what a joke . again i am sorry you had such a bad experience and took such a financial loss on something that should have been fun. tom

Here's what's REAL funny..... My wife and I drove by the MTC lot, saw the boat, and looked it up on the MTC website. Never owned a boat before but thought it might be kinda fun. We had NO idea about this Offshore Only site. Got on this site by accident from a LINK ON THE MTC WEBSITE. Here's what I think.... you are a buddy of MTC. Heck, maybe you are Jeff Wilson himself. Maybe you had your boat outfitted with parts from other people's boats that got ripped off by him AND that is why you were so happy with your price and the work that was done!! Maybe you'd be singing a different song if YOU were the one that got ripped off to give somebody a better deal! RE. 2 mins. of posting..... Was that the first thread that was mysteriously pulled after MTC replied with their threatening responses or this thread that I had to start again?? IF you would really READ my posts... you would see that all I've ever asked for is either GOOD or NEGATIVE experiences about this company...... The biggest NEG. to me was the way MTC responded!

Why cant you just tell your story? 1. you bought a boat off of the private owner Scott not MTC and you got what Scott advertised .I think you should post your contract .I would bet money that you wouldnt do that .As to BBB stuff that boat was 1988 the fella Bought it AS IS written real big on his cotract, sea trailed it took it home for period of time then brought it back ,with a broken drive oked the cost of the repairs and installation of reman 2003 model B1 I think 3600.00ish was a fair price for parts and labor, then stopped payment on the check .TCBOSS tell your story and Ill fill in the blanks .

Yeh, maybe I got a little carried away.... But I am curious... how did Crayola find out the specifics that he posted???? None of that was on the report that my wife pulled up.
