Hiya
My girlfriend's dad is about to buy a cabin cruiser (second hand). He mentioned last night having some worries that he might end up saddled with a load of someone else's finance on it (this happened when his friend bought a second hand car, which wasn't fully paid off before the original owner sold it to a garage, leading to loads of hassle).

Thanks
