Have you finished paying for the boat?I would suggest that you get an independent boat expert to have a look at what has happened. If you were promised that the boat was in good condition and just needed the maintenance items, but it turned out that there were substantial problems and that the repair work which the seller had undertaken, was not carried out properly, then your next step might be to cancel the contract by notice to the seller and asking for your money back. If your claim is for more than $30,000 you will need make an application to the District Court, and if that is the case I would recommend you instruct a lawyer. You can make a claim under the Contract and Commercial Law Act asking to cancel the contract because of the misrepresentations and seeking the return of your money
