Woud you buy a boat and motor if you knew there was legal issues on the motor.

To sum up a longer edited post.

I did not, but it got me thinking, about ethics of other fishermen.

It was one of them, friend of a friends, friend. Deals, too good a price to be true, so when I seen the boat I was blown away, untill I got told there were Issues with the motor.

If you know the motor has "legal issues" then you are just as guilty.....

And when your motor is missing do you want one of us to buy it for a "steal" lol pun intented! People will keep taking our $hit if we keep buying it back!!

I totally agree, It immediatly changed my mind on the boat. I also knew there had to be something wrong when I was told the price of boat/motor.

When I went to look at the boat I was thinking, man this dude doesnt even know what he has, this is sooo mine. When I was told he did know what he had, i immediatly felt like a dube for not automatically knowing something was terribly wrong.

Do legal issues absolutely have to mean stolen?

I know many people who have motors that they genuinley purchased who have lost titles or whatever and cannot get replacements.

What kind of "legal" issues are we talking about.

bamabassman · 02-27-08, 09:42 PM

lost titles can be replaced, just have alot of paperwork to go through. but you can replace lost or stolen papers. brother-in-law bought a harley like that. took him a year...but he got it legal. now the s o b has a FINE RIDE.hahaha i'l get it oneday, when he sees another bike he wants, lmao.
