Feel bad
Well, I sold my 1986 Formula F-2 Sunsport cuddy a few weeks ago to a nice guy. I thoroughly explained to him that the boat had not been used for 4 years, but that I drained out all the old gas, changed the oil in the motor and the lower unit, she fired up and ran well on the hose, but that he should take it to a mechanic for a thorough inspection. I said this particularly because the temperature gauge was not working but engine was not getting hot on the hose/flush muffs.
I got a text message yesterday saying "just to let you know the engine failed on our second trip out." I clearly sold it as is, with full disclosure, but I still feel bad for the guy. I am betting he did NOT have it inspected by a mechanic.
