I certainly do not question your closing of the thread. You are right, I started off on a tangent.

Thank you, that would be good for the forum as a whole. As for me, I could really care less anymore about getting any money or other compensation from the "offender". He can keep his lousy $140 he got from me, doesnt mean jack to me. I've already spent well over what I bought it for in new parts and whatnot. Looks like a pretty nice boat now, plan is to use it as my rescue craft. I've got pics of the progress so far in another post.Comment

I don't think there is anything to resolve with with it. He started this thread today, yet started this rebuild thread last week:http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...630#post430630 I think he should have started this thread first and tried to resolve the issues before even rebuilding it. Yes the boat is junk or what else, but don't go fixing it, then come calling this guy a scammer, was there any attempt to resolve this issue. I don't think any type off refund should be issued, i'm not taking the sellers side ether.Comment

Why not fix it? And why not call this guy what he is? He lied, he misrepresented, he decieved. I accepted those facts and decided to restore the boat like I planned anyway. I just had to spend alot more cash to do it. Did you read my previous post? I said that at this point I am not interested in one thin dime from the scammer. I am however interested in warning others about buying from this person, and I am concerned about this hurting the reputation of the classifieds. Just because I decided to forego the huge hassle of a claim, and possible return shipping and all that BS for the amount involved I should not call this guy out? And warn others? Help me understand your logic.Comment

I just found out why one of the motors was not working properly, making terrible noises. One of the magnets was no longer attached to the can and was rattleing around in there. I epoxied it back in place though. So in the morning we will see if it works ok.Comment

Looks like I am going to have to spring for some new motors too. What a bummer. So after all is said and done, I bought a damaged hull for $140. Everything else was/is practicaly junk. $200+ later and I might have a decent runner.Comment

This stinks man. For the 200 bux you spent I purchased a brand new Coleman kayak from dicks. Food for thought. I never have to worry anymore about flipping my boatsComment

Steve, I paid for it via PayPal using my Paypal/Ebay account name "stuandlynn"
Dana, that's $200 in addition to paying the $140 for a cracked up hull. So, yes, by now I could have a brand new "cheaper" boat, hell, a brand new Proboat can be had for less. But, I do love working on these things, and I've got this baby looking pretty good. *"But it's like an onion, the more layers you peel, the more it stinks"
*quote stolen from Seinfeld. lol
The money spent afterwards on the boat does include the paint/sealer and decals too. Tons of parts too that I am replacing. Practicaly everything really.Comment

Wow really? I didn't know that money was on top of the 140 you already spent. Sorry to hear that man. I would be a little more than pissed at this idiot.Comment
-
I would put in a paypal claim and get my money back.. why spend another $200 a on junk boat? That makes no sense to me. Put a claim in and ship it back to him on his dime.Comment
-
Well, it aint junk no more! lol, at least I don't think so. I put alot of work into this, and I am enjoying it actualy, quite a bit. I have alot to do yet as I keep finding more and more things that need fixing.
