Am I the only one here???
"Victorian Coroner, Peter White, found the boat had faulty tanks and
fuel lines, and exploded when the engine was started.
He found Mr O'Hare knew of the poor condition of the boats tanks and the probable contamination of the fuel lines before he sold it. He said Mr O'Hare had understood the boat's safety was compromised and failed in his duty to inform the buyers."
lemme guess, no survey, no "caveat emptor"
Yes, the p.o. SHOULD have said something. But he didn't. So, lets make it someone elses fault.
Imagine buying a used car, run it up the road and one of the wheels falls off. Is the the p.o's fault you didn't check the lug nuts yourself?
A quick check of the
fuel system might have bought a discount... It surly would have kept the darn thing from going ka-boom
