are there lemon laws for boat purchase or any consumer laws that i could look into? When purchasing a used boat by private (friend) sale. the boat was not started up because we believed our "friend" that it was in perfect condition. the boat has a cracked engine and we believe it came that way.
does he have to repair or can we return the boat?
