Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Liability
Signed purchase agreement for new
boat. It is now over 9 months late in
delivery. It costs $108,000 and is
95% paid for. Can't afford to sue for
breach of contract. Do I assume any
liability if I publish the facts about the
company's lack of performance on
the ''owners' group'' website as a way
of applying pressure to get the boat
done? No editorials -- just the
contract provisions, dates, etc.

Not if you can prove what you post, but you may harm your chances of resolving this amicably and quickly. I suggest you have an attorney contact them. We cover both CA and FL and are experienced trial attorneys.
Re: Liability
I don't understand why you say you "can't afford" to enforce your contract. Read The Contract. Does the contract provide for attorney fees to be awarded to the prevailing party? Can you afford to lose 95% of $108,000? What if you wait one day or one week too long to sue, and they go bankrupt? Will you be out all that money? Have you actually spoken to a California attorney about the costs of suing them, or are you just assuming you can't afford it?
Venting to some website isn't going to get your boat delivered. At best, it will tick them off, and at worst, it will get you sued.
