I recently sold my boat using Craigslist. I sold it to a man from another state. We met him half way. He asked if the boat was in working order and ran well, we told him it was. We only owned the boat for 6 months, but had taken it out on 3 different occasions with no issues, the boat ran great.

Now the man is claiming that he took the boat out and its taking in water. He’s claiming that the hull was repaired with bondo there are 2 holes. We never saw any damage on this boat, no holes, and no bondo repair anywhere on the boat. We inspected that boat from hull to stern before we bought it.

He’s stated that his bank (the one that he recieved a loan from) is running a history on the boat to see if there’s been insurance fraud. I have no idea what he’s talking about. We never even had insurance on the boat. He’s wanting us to pay him $1000 for repairs and if we dont he will be “taking the next step”.

He had the boat for 2 weeks before we heard from him. I’m hoping there’s some state law in Oregon that states after a certain amount of time, the sale is final and the sale is “as-is”. I’ve read that in the state of Texas this law exists and its a 72 hour time period, I’m just having a hard time finding that in Oregon.
