He probably thought that a dealer with the reputation and level of PBC that he could trust them. I know a guy that bought a boat from them that was advertised as having fresh power and the motors were still factory sealed. PBC split the cost of rebuilding the motors.

The website address was edited in to the earlier post after I had made my post so my "keyboard cowboy talkin smack" ramblings were made without the benefit of insight. 
(you can check the time of my post against the time the other post was edited)
If you had read post number 8, you'd already know this.
I am happy delete my first post if it bothers you.

What I read on the website that stands out the most is the BUYER did not do ANY pre purchase inspections himself or have anybody inspect the boat for him and bought it sight unseen.
Possibly it was misrepresented. Possibly it was tested and inspected 10 months earlier. Either way, it is up to the buyer to inspect his purchase before handing over his money. Maybe the guy got screwed, but not doing his due diligence is what are allowed that to happen.
Money for a brokered boat never goes into escrow unless it is specified in the contract.
