Obviously not because you have no idea how big companies and especially big insurance companies work.
I, specifically the firm I own a significant portion of, put insurance companies in Louisiana/Mississippi into rehabilitation and receivership. Mainly by noting when they should have paid and when they shouldn't.
We have a few mutual friends. One of whom is an attorney who shares your last name.
While she is only a few years older than you, you would be advised to ask her opinion on the matter.

It's cheaper to pay you to go away.
As for what he should have done, he should have paid to repair the unit himself and chalked it up as a lesson learned when buying used.
Or... If the scenario exists where he hit something with the boat, he should have called his insurance company.

Are you a naval architect? Is it a design flaw or is it an application flaw? You have no idea what the previous owner did with that hull

I'm just dying here.
There are like 60 of us in the state of louisiana who do what we do. And this guy calls me out.
There's like a 1 in 66000 chance of that happening

Actually, I had an expert marine surveyor examine the boat and make a report based off his finding. His report concluded it was a manufacturing defect. I also got affidavits from the previous owner about what conditions and waters he took the boat in.
If you are seriously saying you would have pushed the boat in the lake I would hope you don't carry that defeatist attitude in all areas of life.
This is a stupid argument. There was a problem and it was fixed. That is my job. Again, I was simply offering assistance.
Hope everyone has great fourth of July.

I'm saying I would have fixed the problem myself, like most normal people here would have done. To go threatening legal action against a company for this scenario is ridiculous and everybody else sees it.
You got it fixed by crying loud enough for them to give you a pacifier. They could have dragged you over the coals in court but didnt because it just isnt worth their time.
I'd be interested to see the report though. Expert marine surveyor often means a guy who sells used boats from his house. Did he claim it was a design defect or a workmanship issue?

Not that kind of auditor, dick
We're who they call beforehand. Or who the DOI sends in to make your insurance company disappear.

I have a 1969 riveted Gibson flat boat that is leaking around the rivets. You think we can get it replaced?

Ohhhh
Fyi, Alumacraft is an active member of ABYC and therfor all of their hull designs below 26 feet must be checked and validated via sea trial before they can get a weight tag.

If you truly believe the boat has a manufacturing defect then why did you accept the settlement?

Great job on getting your dads boat fixed. Alumacraft new they had a defective product, and by your standing up to them made them fix your dads boat, even if he wasn't the original owner. Murica!

I agree more power to him if he gets the boat fixed.

Full disclosure I'm a lawyer and getting ready to sue them for him. Just wanted to know if anyone else was having problems as it does not seem to be confined to just his boat. Alumacraft knows they have a problem.
Then you should know the cannot and will not accept the liability with him not being the original owner. I've dealt with them before and my brother's FIL was a dealer for a short while helping a friend with health problems retire and sell his inventory. Most every Arkansas based boat manufacturer we've ever dealt with has gone above and beyond to correct any reasonable issues. Now, how you approach them and your initial attitude may have something to do with it. You threaten them right off the bat and send them into defensive posturing? You got a yankee accent? Both of which are strikes against you in these parts.

Thank you sir for now they have gone back and agreed to fix the boat its headed to the factory for the repairs

I just discovered your post about the problems with yoyr dad's Alumaceaft. I have a 2014, 2072 and I'm having multiple problems with cracks. Would you mind letting me know the outcome of dealing with the manufacturer and any advice on what I can do? Thanks!

Yep don’t buy an alumacraft

More like don't be trashy and accept responsibility for your actions...
Especially if your actions are buying a used boat without properly inspecting it and then blaming everyone but yourself.

It is scary to think that people will twist their logic to justify suing someone just because they feel like it’s not really hurting someone if it is a company. Manufacturers provide warranties. If your product has a failure outside of the warranty date then how can they be held liable? They said the hull would not crack for (x) many years, after that it’s up to chance unless it is a lifetime warranty. The attorney mindset of justifying immoral actions for financial gain is toxic
