I bought a boat a couple of days ago and then realized that it was not as advertised. heres the email I sent the seller and his responce (names removed). What do you think I should do? is he right about the carbs just being different?<br /><br />>-- Original Message --<br />>From: "Vegard Hamso" <<br />>To: <<br />>Subject: Boat is not as advertised<br />>Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 15:45:30 -0400<br />><br />><br />>,<br />>I have begun work on the boat and I discovered several major things contrary<br />>to what you promised. First and foremost, the outboard is not a 140 hp,<br />it<br />>is an 85, as evidenced by the model number: 85ESL74B. Second, the floor<br />>which you claimed had no wood underneath, was made of wood, with a thin<br />>layer of fiberglass on top. Sure enough, this wood was completely rotten<br />>and<br />>the foam underneath was completely waterlogged.<br />> As you can see, this is contrary to what was agreed on, and I expect<br />>a<br />>significant discount. The check will be stopped<br />>if I dont hear from you by tomorrow at 5 pm. . I hope this was an honest<br />>mistake.<br />><br />>Vegard Hamso<br /><br />Reply:<br /><br />Vegard,<br /> My friend told me it was a 140 the block is the same for both hp's only<br />carbs are changed, sorry for the error, as far as the floor, I never ripped<br />it apart,the majority of boats have a wood core, only newer boats offer<br />molded injection, the floor was solid and did not need to be replaced, it<br />was sold as a project boat no warrenty expressed or implied as stated on<br />your receipt and witnessed by my signature and yours, you can return it<br />too me if you like, the best I can do is give you $50 of the selling price,<br />if you stop payment on the check I will seek legal, bouncing a check is<br />a felony in the state of Md.<br /><br />thanks
