Man that sucks!!!!!!!!!!! He probably saved one to two hours by using bondo instead of glass. Maybe I just take to much pride in m work, but if it means that the job will take a couple of hours to do it right, then I will make sure to spend a FEW hours doing it perfect. NO BONDO!!!!!!!!

Four years!
Statute of limitations on reps and warranties is gone.
The guy obviously forgot he lied to you. If you want to catch him in the lie then OK, do it.
But what's it gonna do for you?
I am amazed it held up that long, being Bondo.

Your justified in feeling decieved by being lied and the fact the guy didn't have it repaired correctly.
It's always been my understanding the repair should be as strong as when new or stronger if done correctly.
The guys not worth it.

It's also possible the guy sent it out to be fixed and thought that the boat was properly repaired by a reputable place and that he never knew it was a crappy repair. Otherwise, why would he have told you about the repair anyway?

This is the question I would ask myself. Would I have bought the boat if the seller would have stated that he had a small repair on the hull? Would you have asked for a six year warranty? Another point to consider, is it possible you hit something in the exact same spot?

B. Would I have still bought it? Depending upon the extent of the repairs and further inspection..maybe, maybe not. But then at least I knew what I WAS getting into.
C. Would I have asked for a 6 year warranty? NO! Why? It has been 3 years. Secondly, I would not ask for a warranty but again, at least I would have known what I was REALLY getting.
D. Did I hit something? NOPE! After reviewing the damage and discussing it in depth with the gentleman that did this most recent repair, it was definitely not a strike by a foreign object THIS TIME. The inner core was so wet and rotten that there was mold growing on it.
E. Question for you...would you LIE FULL WELL knowing that you were misrepresenting something when someone SPECIFICALLY asked if ANY hull repairs had ever been made? If I did NOT ask then I understand there is no obligation to offer information not asked for. However, since I DID ask, then being forthwright with the information is HONEST and RIGHT!
I certainly HOPE you would take the high road! Unfortunately, judging by the tone of your post it would be easy for one to conclude that may not be the case.
