I have done everything but the attorney, it is at a different marina than
the one that did the repairs the 5 times. I am not going to be the modern
sue happy cliché. Bottom line it was my fault I didn't look the motor over
before I bought it , and this is what happened. I don't blame anyone but
myself, it sucks, but I will live and learn.
With that said, do I think it is total bull**** that the fuel problems may
have caused this? You bet I do, but do I have a leg to stand on? I guess
that is where the attorney comes in and I am not sure I want to go that
route. I talked with friends, and they all recommended where I took my boat
for repairs, and these guys called me right away when they found what the
problems were, and it would run great for a week or so and then crap would
start going wrong again and I would take it in, and it would be a different
problem. So who knows besides the marina and their mechanics.
I posted it here to show I learned another lesson in the world of boating
and fishing and hopefully a lesson I don't need to learn again.

Pass it by an attorney and see what he says - take all your repair bills
with you.

Find a better mechanic. Ask other boaters in your area they should know.

Well all, I am out of commission for a while. Talking with the Marina I
am looking at about $6k in repairs or $8700 for a Brand new 2004. So I
know i don't have enough money for either, but I will probably be
financing the 2004 motor. It is really unfortunate things have turned
out the way they have. Having so many dreams just completely crushed. I
had the boat in the marina to be fixed for fuel problems 5 different
times, and the preliminary diagnosis for the motor was that it was
running "LEAN" after just coming out of the shop a "WEEK" before.
So the marina I took it to was not thorough at all, but how can you hold
them accountable.
Again I have to live and learn, I keep hearing welcome to being a boat
owner, but I have a hard time believing all of you guys have had as many
problems as I have had.

Oh well, hopefully next year will be better.
