What to do if my husband sold someone a boat which was in tip top shape but the buyer says that it doesn't work?
Question Details: We used it all of the time. However, since my husband sold the individual the boat, the buyer is now not satisfied with it. He wants my husband to give him $900 to repair the boat's engine. Is the seller right because the boat worked fine when we owned it my husband took great care of it.
Assuming the boat was sold without you providing some warranty or guaranty for it, you should only be liable for the cost to repair or other compensation if you were aware of a problem that existed at the time of the sale and deliberately or knowingly failed to disclose this problem (fraud). Otherwise, you legally should not be required to pay, and should have a good defense if he attempts to sue you for the money.
