Legal Question in Consumer Law in Minnesota

Damage to rental boat

Rental fishing boat damaged in storm. Owner says I'm responsible. Wasn't in boat at time. Wasn't offered any insurance. owner claims I must pay for a new boat and loss of usage for about 6 weeks. I signed a sheet prior to use that the boat checked out ok.

Am I responsible for total loss according to 'his' boat mechanic? It is 20 hours from home, out of State also.

If the contract to rent was made out-of-state, then the law of the state where it was signed is law applying to the contract.
