    HI all,
    we decided to ask here as, surely, someone here faced the same situation in the past.

    In June of 2025, a customer brought us a boat engine to rebuilt, upon inspection and presented with a quote for the repairs, he decided not to proceed. Until then, everything is ok, he told us he’d be picking is dismantled engine shortly. we packed it on a pallet and waited.

    Believe I or not, after numerous phone call, some to voice mail, some unanswered and some where we managed to talk to him, the damned pallet with is engine on it is still here.

    Anyone know of a legal way to deal with this? at this point, we’re not looking at getting money (even if we’d gladly take some), we’d only like to get our space back.

    We have been in this situation in the past. We finaly started getting money up front before we touch the engine, especially a fully dressed Mercruiser etc. We like to get at least 6 hours labour to cover teardown & inspection. This way you dont give away your time & end up with a pile of junk on the floor.

      Write him a letter saying you are selling it at auction for storage owing. 420 days at 1.00$ per day, if not picked up within 10 calendar days. Then sellit, a complete core has value. Bon chance!!

      the letter idea is best but use registered mail so that he has to sign for it, then you have proof and proceed as per rules that your letter states
