If you sell a Carb and state it is 1 year old , and it turns out to be from 1988. No amount of excuses justifies not giving a refund.

My boats a 1986 but it doesn`t get used 9 months out of the year and at one point it was down for a couple years for rebuilt.. so can I sell it as a 2006 ? :stooges:

You probably could with how good that interior looks!

sorry for the derail.
 

Well l thank you!!
I like you, you`re very smart , we should be best friends forever!!
Anyone looking for a 2006 Flat Deck? :drink:

Now how many boats have we seen for sale listed as 1987/2016 because the guy replaced 3 gauges, added a couple vinyl stripes, and added 16 monster stickers to the dash???

1957 / 2017 Brand New Used one year :)

A little too early in the AM for me to see SB's post/pic above. I threw up a little in my mouth.........

Agree with most above, If you say it is a yr old, it should be a year old. For those who say production date shouldnt be an issue, you didnt buy it, and you have no idea what the buyers criteria for the purchase was.

This issue has been cut and dry to me from when it was first discussed in the swap shop. Seller owes full refund plus paying for the return shipping. His excuses to date for not doing so have been laughable.

and yet some oso members won,t heed the warning and still buy from him,i just don,t get it.

I bought some heads from him a couple years ago. Was told they were "very low hour" take offs (literally told me 45 mins to an hour run time). When I got them, it was obvious that they had way more run time on them. Way more. After questioning him, he said he would have to contact the previous owner of these heads to get me any more info. Turns out they were "very old heads" that had "new" valves, guides, springs, etc installed with 45 mins to an hour run time on them. I ended up having them completely rebuilt as the "new" parts that were installed were questionable at best. Guy wouldn't even respond when I asked for a refund, and offered to pay all shipping costs.

Not only that but I'd say the cost also. Is a 19 year old carb worth what the buyer paid for a 1 year old carb? I wouldn't even be interested in buying a carb that old.
