My sister just bought a new boat, well not a totally new boat, but one new to her. She was assured that it was fine, they even took it out for a few minutes. but, the first time that they took it out by themselves after the deal was settled, and the money had changed hands, it broke! They are livid, they cannot believe that it happened to them. Now they are looking for mercruiser parts and trying to find the money to fix the boat. I sure wish she would have used the boat a little more before they purchased it.
