Legal Question in Consumer Law in New York

bought a waverunner under false pretenses
I just purchased a 1994 polaris SL750 waverunner for $2300 from a guy. He told me that he took it in once a year and had preventive maintaince done on it and had it winterized every year. He also told me that there was nothing wrong with it and it ran good. He never gave me a receipt, only the paperwork that was filled out for DMV. I registered it and took it to the lake that same day. Within a half hour it took on so much water that it quit and I was told by friends that it sounds like one if not two of the cylinders is gone. What can I do as far as legal action to get my money back? Isn't this like a car and has lemon laws to it? He flat out lied to me, sold me the thing under false pretenses. I would never have bought it if he said there was something wrong but he didn't know what, I'm not a machanic. Please help.

Re: bought a waverunner under false pretenses

Call your local Attorney General to see

if this is covered by the Lemon Law itself

If not, you are stuck. This is why you test

run things before paying for them
