Hi all really in a hole if anyone can help
I have just purchased a new boat Bavaria match 35 for £55k through a broker and having had a survey where an overheating issue was noted instructed the owner to sort out the issue pre sale. He agreed taking it in a Volvo dealer who found a water pump failed this was replaced and the sale went through.
7days later I collect the boat and deliver from Brighton to Chichester where the engine was run for 35 -40 minutes and it failed never to start again.
Independent Volvo engineer has opened up to find cylinder and piston damage and has written the engine off, replacement bill £5k
What recourse if any do I have , previous owner sorry to hear that, broker what can I do to help? Surveyor detailed over heating , original volvo repairer , we replaced a faulty part which is still working ?....
£5 k out of pocket with a boat that can't move off the pontoon
Please can anyone help or offer any advice
?
thank you kindly regards
Anthony
