Sorry...I just don't see how it's the dealers fault. You're expecting good will is how I translate this. It's the dealer's fault if they knew of these items prior to sale, it's their fault if they are covering up something, it's their fault if they're misrepresenting the product. So far I don't see any evidence of that unless you're not being clear. You've also left out a ton of facts so we have nothing to go on.

If I sell my truck to a buyer and he comes back a few days later stating that the stater motor failed and he's looking for money I tell him to go away. Kinda the same thing here...unless you know more than what you're telling us.

In New York state we have whats called a lemon law.He must warrantee the boat for at least 30 days.Lemon law or not he should have gone out of his way to make you happy! Discount labor or dealer cost on parts probably would have made this situation much better.Unfortunately not everyone runs there business like that.Now you know who to stay away from.

Lemon Law on a used boat?

I would ask if the dealer was contacted when the problems first arose to give them a chance to diagnose and fix? Or did the customer go out and spend money on a scan tool, fix it themselves, and then go back to the dealer looking to recoup funds?

You be be a private seller. Not a Dealer selling a boat, big difference.

Dealer was contacted soon as boat broke. They didn't do **** to help, plus they wanted to charge to scan engine $100. Scan tool was $500 so I bought my own. So no Castle Marine was not willing in anyway to fix issue or refund money for parts. I don't give a **** about a warranty, a good dealer would have helped out regardless. Especially after only running boat for a few hrs. then it breaking.

Yeah, I have to agree with you that is pretty poor on their part not to provide some sort of good faith assistance towards the problem. IMO, they should have at least diagnosed the problem for free and then offered parts at cost.

I'm sure when the boat was purchased you signed some kind of sales agreement. What does it say about warranty and/or guarantee expectations? Does it state "as-is" anywhere in this agreement? Just curious.

I suppose I'd be a little annoyed, too, if my motor junked a couple parts after only 3-4 hours of use but you know the saying...caveat emptor.
