Outpost Marine Group Dave Deposited $9700.00 on new boat with Dave the owner and never got approved for financing. February 2016. He stole my money!!! Holiday Florida

I signed a purchase agreement with a friend on a new boat from outpost marine in Early February 2016.  This boat was already in production at the time and the previous buyer backed out of the boat.   The boat was a 2016 Bluewater 2350.  I never got approved for financing and the purchase agreement stated pending financing.  I verbally cancelled the boat order with the owner of Outpost Marine Dave in the end of February.  He told me that he had to call the owner of Bluewater boats and change the boat order.  He said that he would return our money as soon as he could.  The only boat that showed up on his website that somewhat resembled the one that I ordered had a different engine, T-top and various other changes that we never ordered.  There was never a Hull I.D. # on the purchase agreement, so I don't even know if this is the boat that we ordered.  

I have been texting the owner Dave a couple times per month and he has been telling me that he will return my money.  At first He said that he would return the money when the boat was sold.  This boat has been off thier website for months.  He has told me things like " I give you my word that you will get your money back" and "I promise that you will  get your money back".  The latest was "the money has been sent".  Still no money after weeks of promises and lies!!!  I am not giving up and will pursue this issue forever.  I just don"t understand how some people can be so d**n evil!!!
