Yes , i put insurance on the boat the day i bought it . Insurance is current . Why not have the dealership be responsible ,$ wise ? for selling a boat they knew was leaking ? This is about the dealership not doing the right thing, and the plant supporting the way the dealer does business . And YES , I HAVE PROOF , A TEXT FROM THE SALESMAN STATING THAT HE WAS MOPPING THE WATER UP IN THE V BIRTH . What else can i say .........
You just don't get it. The fact the salesman was mopping up water doesn't mean the damage you're showing existed. Water could have been there for many other reasons. What you're showing would have resulted in many more problems. You leave most questions unanswered. You think that text proves something it in no way proves. I've seen lots of water in v berths of boats that did not have holes in the bottom.
When you first saw the boat was it on land or in the water? If in the water, was it floating? Did you see water? If on land, was the damage there?
Where was the boat when you took legal ownership? Did you inspect it then? How did it look?
Did the shipper send you a photo of damage before they loaded it? If not, then why wouldn't they be responsible?
What did the survey you say was done after you bought it say about the damage?
Maybe it was dropped before launching, maybe it was dropped by the shipper or when loading, maybe when the salesman ran it he ran into rocks. You have not shared any professional opinion.
Why do you refuse to let the experts look and decide, in this case the insurer?
When did you first see the hole in the bottom of the boat?
I don't see any builder responsibility regarding a used boat, whether damaged before or after you bought it. Without further evidence, there's no way I'd call this a manufacturing defect. Now, you better lay off the builder and claiming it's a defect unless you want to find yourself on the losing end of a suit.
