He was loving you after that first trip........
Who knows? He may have done something wrong or he may not have. Boats and motors definitely subscribe to Murphy's law. Ask anybody who had their brand new etec blow up over a computer issue. I think that happened lumberslinger?
I always get a chuckle when somebody says, "I want a brand new boat so I will not have to worry about liability with the motor, hull etc." Sad truth is people have all kinds of problems with brand new boats/motors - they just pay more for the problems. My buddy's brand new 22' CC nearly sank not long after he had it, had more water in the fuel tank than gas and had the wrong prop and would barely plane off with 2 people in it.
Bottom line - that dude bought the boat from you. You did not hold a gun to his head and was up front with him. I would feel bad too if I were you but that is the way the ball bounces.
