This made interesting reading for me
Bought our boat just over 2 years ago from a private sale on Ebay. When we went to Anglesey to collect the seller took us to Diva and produced a load of paperwork for the service history which was all done at Diva.
When we got the boat home and had our local dealer do a full service he reported that it looked like the engine and leg had never been touched before as all the parts were original even the spark plugs.
We thought the boat was still a good price but threw away all the paperwork as it was totally bogus.

Not saying you're wrong, but how would you know that the spark plugs were original vs. replaced with OEM items?

Well it would appear thats the end of Deva Marine, unless you know otherwise of course
http://www.ybw.com/auto/newsdesk/200...14mbmnews.html
Shame because " well respected in its sector and renowned for its highly skilled workforce and sales personnel"
If anyone has a boat in there you might want to get it out sharpish or we end up with another saga that Nugent went though.
