Purchased a 2002 Boston Whaler Dauntless 160 on EBay (170008038639). The ad states:

2002 BOSTON WHALER 16 DAUNTLESS - 2002 OR ABOUT SINGLE AXLE GALVANIZED TRAILER EZ LOADER - VERY CLEAN WHALER AND RUNS GREAT NEEDS NOTHING NO REPAIRS

Send $1000 deposit through PayPal. Informed Mr.Osvaldo Montano, 1520 Bay Drive, Miami Beach Fla 33141 305-710-9432 that we would be traveling 1100 miles to Miami from Maryland to pick up the boat. Mr. Montano is a licensed Auto/Marine Dealer in Florida trading as Abraham Motors, Inc.

Upon reaching Miami, we found the trailer had a broken rear light lens, no tie down straps, lights did not work properly, trailer was equipped with brakes that did not work and the tires had a slow leak. After making repairs, we concluded the transaction. Within moments of the return journey, the boat was moving on the trailer. We stopped at a service station to secure a broken winch hook and inserted a temporary pin missing from the hitch.

On the 295 Richmond VA bypass, the right wheel and drum fell off the trailer. The trailer hit the pavement at 60MPH. Another car spun out of control and was totaled. Progressive Insurance refuses to pay for damage to the trailer which was totaled ($1800) and towing ($200).

Had Mr. Montano been forthcoming regarding the condition of the trailer, prior to our leaving Maryland, we would have made arrangements to have the trailer inspected and serviced by a mechanic. Mr. Montano's blatant disregarded disclosing these problems.

Mr. Montano refuses to participate in mediation stating that he has a signed contract for the boat and trailer in "as is condition" with no warranty.

Mr. Montano's blatant disregard for disclosing safety issues and endangering lives is prompting this complaint. The other car was totaled and the driver suffered personal injury. Had the wheel fallen off a few miles down the road on a more congested 95, the results would have been devastating.

Beware of this person. Do not purchase anything without having the car, boat or trailer fully inspected by a licensed mechanic. He trades under the names of "Ozzie Montano", "Osvaldo Montano", "Abraham Motors", his EBay account is "casadelmar21", his email address is "casadelmar@bellsouth.net".

#10REBUTTAL Owner of company

Wed, June 11, 2008

Mr. Banach accuses me of false accusations and rhetoric. Only after my rebuttal Mr. Banach offers the following third parties to verifications to his claims.
Now he admits that Abraham Motors was not involved in the sale of the boat to him ( you know why? because NOW YOU KNOW THE TRUTH.)

Please notice how the numbers MONEY DOLLARS change when he has to tell the truth.

7-23-2006 Progressive Claim #06-8904274, Charles Maclin was the adjuster, 301-210-2013.

BANACH TRAVELD OVER 1000 MILES WITH OUT CHECKING THE TRAILER TIRES) do not know the extent of his injuries because medical records are confidential. ( HERE HE CHANGES HIS TUNE BEFORE HE KNEW IT WAS A YOUNG MARINE GOING TO IRAK NOW HE DOES NOT KNOW)

Progressive would not pay for my trailer or towing because the accident was caused by a mechanical failure.( BECAUSE OF YOUR NEGIGLENTS)


(THIS IS FROM HIS OTHER STORY)
(Progressive Insurance refuses to pay for damage to the trailer which was totaled ($1800) and towing ($200).
NOW THE TRAILER IS 1298.89 AND TOWING IS 300.00

Chesapeake Whalertowne, 410-827-8080, Invoice #015050 dated 9/15/06 $3512.68 ( THEN A MONTH GOES BY ANOTHER CLAIM CHESAPEAKE SAW THIS GUY COMING, WHY WOULD HE CLAIM TO REPLACE CARBURETORS IF ALL THEY HAD WAS VARNISHED, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT DOES NOT MAKE SENCE FOR HIS REPAIR AND CLAIM.

PITALUGA USED THE BOAT I USED THE BOAT AND HE WENT ON A SEATRAIL AND WAS RUNNING FINE OTHER WISE I DON'T THINK HE WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE BOAT WITH HIM RIGHT? ALSO A CARBURETOR WITH VARNISHED WONT RUN PERIOD)


3-17-2007 Mercury Marine sent field technician Mark Anthony to Chesapeake Whalertowne to determine the problems. Mark Anthony tore down the engine and determined the engine problems also included a salt corroded power head. The proposed $4,000 power head repair was declined. ( NOW 6 MONTH LATER HE HAS PROBLEMS AGAIN REMENBER THE MOTOR WAS FIX FOR A WHOPPING 3,512.68 DOLLARS BUT HE CLAIMS THIS IS MY FAULT TOO, HE DOES NOT ACCEPT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS WITH ALL DO RESPECT TO MR.BANACH FOR MERCURY ENGINES I HAVE NEVER HEARD TO HAVE TO TORE DOWN A FOURSTROKE MOTOR TO FIND OUT WHATS WRONG WITH IT THIS NEW MOTORS ARE HOOK UP TO THE COMPUTER AND THEY TELL YOU EVERYTHING FROM TIME RUNNING TO RPMS AND A COMPLETED DIAGNOSE OF ANY PROBLEM GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT MR.

05-2007, Advanced Marine, 410-867-0485, $9,344,42
- New Honda BF90 replacement engine installed. Mercury 90 core turned in for credit. ( NOTICE NO DATE ON THIS ONE BUT LETS SAY 2 MONTH LATER HE IS FED UP WITH CHESAPEAKE WHALERTOWN AND GOES TO ADVANCE MARINE FOR A HONDA MOTOR.)

Summary:

2002 Boston Whaler Dauntless 160 $16,000.00
Daves Boat Trailers 1,289.89
Central City Towing 300.00
Chesapeake Whalertowne 4.049.49
Advanced Marine 10,344,42
Trade in Mercury 90 Core -1,000.00

Total Expense $30,983.80

My only buyers remorse was not to purchase a new 2006 Boston Whaler Dauntless 160 from a local reputable dealer for $30k. Otherwise, we love the boat. We enjoy long leisurely days fishing and crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay. ( DOES NOT DO HOME WORK INPULSIVE AND RECKLESS. A NEW 16 DAUNTLESS WHALER IS ABOUT 23,500.00 BOAT MOTOR AND TRAILER. BACK IN 06.)


Now to address Mr. Montanos concerns. All payments were made to Mr. Montano who brokered the deal for Ileana Pitaluga. Mr. Montano trades as Abraham Motors in Miami. The boat was not bought through Abraham Motors. But, Mr. Montano is the sole proprietor of Abraham Motors. The signed contract which Mr. Montano presented is accurate and states as-is condition, no warranty.( HERE IS WHERE HIS MALICE INTENT TO DEFRAUD ME IS, A SCARE TACTICK FOR ME TO GIVE HIM MONEY, HE ADMITS THAT ABRAHAM MOTORS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRANSACTION BUT HE CLAIMS IT DID FROM THE BEGINNING BOATS SOLD ON EBAY ARE NOT BROKERED THEY ARE AUCTION AND YOU ACCEPT ALL RESPOSIBILITYS I WENT FURTHER EXTRA MILE TO GIVE MR. BANACH A SEATRAIL TO COMFIRM THE CLAIM OF THE AUCTION.)



Mr. Montano steadfastly refuses to provide the name of the person or company who serviced the boat from 2002 to 2006 to support his claims that neither he nor Ms. Pitaluga had previous knowledge of the boat's trailer, electrical and engine problems. The statement that the engine had perfect compression was contradicted by the diagnostics performed by Chesapeake Whalertowne and Mercury Marine. ( MR. BANACH CALLS ME AFTER ALL THIS TIME AND CONTINUES TO ASK FOR MONEY, HE TOLD ME HE WOULD TAKE ME IN A COURTROOM IF I WOULD TELL HIM THE SERVICE HISTORY OF A BOAT THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME GET OVER IT.)


The Florida Attorneys General office and Better Business Bureau refuse to be involved because I signed a contract stating sold as-is no warranty. The issue is only actionable if I can prove they had prior knowledge of the needed repairs. Mr. Montano refuses to divulge where the boat was serviced from 2002 to 2006 to support his claims the boat was properly maintained and in good repair.( MY ABOVE STATEMENT CAN'T BE ANYMORE CLEAR THEN THIS ALL HE IS TRYING IS TO GET IS MONEY FOR HIS IMPULSIVE ANXIOUS RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR )

Having only the EBay feedback to negotiate with, I attempted to resolve the issue with Mr. Montano on multiple occasions without success. When all options were exhausted, I was disappointed to find out that I could not issue feedback after 6 months. I apologize to other EBayers who relied on Montanos positive feedback without having the benefit of my negative feedback. I waited too long while waiting for the full exntent of the damages to be totaled.( REMEMBER THE DATES UP THERE WHERE HE HAS ALL HIS CLAIMS HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME BUT ALL HE WAS TRYING WAS TO GET MONEY FROM ME)

I offered to settle for $1000 on 7/28/2008, after the accident and before the electrical and engine problems were known. Mr. Montano should keep his facts straight. Mr. Montano has ignored my pleas for financial relief as my expenses mounted to make the boat sea worthy.( HIS DATES DON'T MAKE SENCE THIS HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE ARE BLIND BY THERE OWN GREED)


I have no idea who Trick96 is nor do I have any family in West Virginia. (SURE BROTHER)

In summary, if Mr. Montano and Ms. Pitaluga did not misrepresent their knowledge the mechanical issues with the trailer, electrical system and engine, I invite them to post the name of the business that serviced this boat from 2002 2006 so the service history can be researched. Otherwise, I can only assume that they misrepresented the condition of the boat in the EBay advertisement and now hide behind a sold as-is contract.

As to Mr. Montanos rhetoric that I am a dishonest person and misrepresent the facts, I offer third party verification of my statements. Mr. Montano offers opinions, misrepresentations, false accusations and incoherent ramblings. ( I ONLY OFFER THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH TO DEFEND MYSELF FROM A IRESPONSIBLE RECKLESS ANXIOUS IMPULSIVE INDIVIDUAL TRYING TO DEFRAUD ME)

THE TRUTH SO HELP ME GOD

#10REBUTTAL Owner of company

Fri, May 30, 2008

On July 22 2006
Ebay item 170008038639 was purchase by Steven

A deposit of 1000.00 dollars was sent to me thought pay pal, Steven Banach called me and said he was leaving Friday after work and drive all night and day to get to Miami Beach Florida the next day Saturday by the afternoon when he said that, I found that irresponsible and reckless.

He arrived and was rushing and anxious like somebody using a substance or something. After just talking with him for a few minutes I realizes this guy has no experience with boats and trailers, I ask him have you ever owned a boat before he answer NO.
We went on a sea trail to run the boat, him his son and I his wife wait with the owner of the boat at the dock it would have exceeded the weight limit on the boat.

When Steven took the helm he almost toss me and his son overboard no joke it look like Steven had never pilot a boat ever.
After the sea trail we put the boat back on the trailer and headed back to finish the transaction the bill of sale was given to both him and his wife and was read by both with the owner of the boat present he signed gave a cashiers check and proceeded to hook up the boat trailer to his Toyota truck.
Here is a exact copy of the bill of sale that Stven wont show anyone because it makes him a liar.



Bill of Sale

He came unprepared to any situation that could come up on the road while traveling. I strap the boat down one of the trailer lights was not working he went and purchase some portable temporary trailer light and I install them with him I advise Steven to check the hubs and tires periodically to make sure they would not get hot and to look frequently back at the tires to make sure they were not riding wobbly that would be a sign of something wrong and off they went late it was night time already I thought to myself how can this guy drive 2200 plus miles with a ten year old son not considering the risk , even truckers don't take risks like that.

After 4 or 5 days later I get a called from Steven and claims that a tire had fallen off the trailer and it had cause a big accident just 100 mile from his home. I ask him if he and the others where ok he did not seem all that concerned with my question, he was just asking for 2800.00 dollars to buy a brand new trailer I felt that his irresponsible reckless behavior was the cause of this accident and lack of concern for others, but then he call and wants to negotiate for 1800.00 dollars I said to my self Steven is trying to con me for money while his insurance company is paying for all the necessary repairs or a new trailer and tow bills.
I flat out told him he was just wrong trying to defraud me.

Them he went on a rant childlike he contacted the Better Business Bureau of Florida lie to them saying that I had sold him a boat through my company Abraham Motors , they ask him to fax a copy of the contract from Abraham Motors been involved in the sale and he could not produce it they told him to drop his allegation that they where unfounded.

Them he contacted the Department of Motor Vehicles of the State of Florida and found that my company had never had any complaints what so ever furthermore again he could not produce a contract from Abraham Motors.
Finally he came here to slander my name and company reputation because he lies and tries to cons honest people like myself that was nothing but helpful to him.

Furthermore for all of you that will read this all the while Steven Banach could have tarnish my reputation on ebay right where it all began he could have given me a negative feedback and he never did that tells you his malice intent to defraud me and my company for money. Please I invite anyone to go to my ebay casadelmar21 and look at my feedbacks 100% and see for yourself who he was dealing with someone honest helpful with integrity.

See my fellow AMERICANS this story is about the men with buyers remorse, anxious, irresponsible, reckless, that lies through his teeth to get money from people then he uses and manipulates the system and family to post here in this site to conquer with him to further damage someone's reputation, Trick96 posted here and said they are from Miami Beach well Trick96 is from West Virginia and Steven has relatives in West Virginia but wont say what I did to them not enough man or woman to face one when they are accusing someone of wrong doing they don't have integrity or moral values Steven Banach is playing the victim just to get his way not enough to suck it up and face the facts.

I am still waiting for him to prove his allegations.
I find this site to be very helpful for those people that get RIP--OFF by individuals such as Steven.

I am glad I was not one of the victims of Steven cons but he continues to lie and tries to distort the truth to others we are going to start digging for answers.
The community and companies should be careful with this type of individuals that claimed to be victims but are nothing but wolfs dress in sheep clothes trying to discredit us if they don't get what they want.
I stand in my name and company blameless of any wrong doing thank you.

Thu, May 29, 2008

In response to the alleged report filed against me and my company. I state that this is completely "false and unfounded". No contract was executed under "Abraham Motors".The buyer needs to present proof as of his allegation!.(A contract for the purchase showing who sold this boat to him). This issue was clarified by the Better Business Bureau in Florida, after the buyer gave false and innacurate information to such entity. Please know that the boat in question was privately owned by a third party, which is a close friend of mine. The sale was conduted personally, as a favor to the owner. Everything was properly inspected by the buyers during the transaction.
The buyers were rushing through the inspection and just wanted to get on their way back. They did not seemed concerned with minor details as they should have. The boat was "SEA Trialed" and accepted in "AS IS" condition. No warranties were given. The buyer overlooked the important details and accepted the boat, his wife and son approved of it also. He was impulsive and anxious during the transaction. He chose to drive all night and day, nonstop to Maryland.(1100 miles). Due to my 20 years experience in boating, I advised the buyer to frequently check the hubs and tires on the trailer. I felt that he should have more common sense, specially knowing that he was traveling with his wife and son. I realized at that moment that he was innexperienced and advised him to be careful. Common sense told me, that he was impulsive and irresponsible. He showed total disregard over my advise or reconmendation, not to mention wanting to get more money for what he created. I am fully aware of what I did. I do not agree with his nonsense. "People who play victims at someone elses cost". I also feel that he is slandering me. My name, address and telephone numbers are exposed. I will like to get this innacurate report to be corrected.

Osvaldo Montano is not to be trusted. I also had a problem with him but I don't want to reveal what it is because nothing can be done about it now and I would not want him coming after me.

All I want to say is don't do business with him. He is not a FAIR person.

Verbals mean nothing. Saltwater immersion can be devastating to a steel trailer. There is a lot of saltwater near Miami. I hope you got the saltwater discount w/r/t a freshwater boat's price.

I guess Ozzie Montano is not your best friend.
