You're not a dealer, right? this was a private sale of a second-hand boat?
Then you should be in the clear, as long as you didn't promise any warranties or guarantees. It's perfectly standard for any second-hand vehicle to be "sold as seen".
To answer your question: yes, he can take you to court, but he almost certainly won't win.
Caveat emptor! (Let the buyer beware)

Anyone can be taken to court for any reason. Did you sell the boat as is? If you did, then he's out of luck. If you gave any expressed warranty, then you may be liable. Get all of your paperwork together and write down dates & times and your best recollection of all conversations and actions (like the test drive). Then, if he does sue you, you'll be prepared.
In the meantime, you don't have to put up with harassing phone calls. Screen your calls using caller ID or your answering machine.

If the boat was okay when it left NC and you were perfectly sure about it then you are okay. I think that if you didnt promise a gurantee or promise it was perfect than they cant sue yoiu. and even if he does take you to court you will probably win becaue there is no way to know for sure what if he broke the boat when he tried to make it work. THere has to be a way to settle it you have to try to compromise with him and calm him down. Dont make him so angry to the point that he does take you to court because there is no way that he will win.

Was the boat sold "as-is" if it was, he has nothing.
As-Is means As-Is.
However, when buying used, no guarantee is ever offered.
He test drove and used it, he could have broken it.
Let him take you to court. Then counter-sue for being an idiot.
Just make sure hes not a psycho who will make your life a living hell.

He may take you to court, but since he went for a test drive and everything worked during the test, I believe that the court would lean in your favor. Try a search for free legal help on the net.

Anyone can sue; if it's your word against his and he paid you and took the boat, most judges and juries would find in your behalf. If you have witnesses, any evidence that proves it was working when he took it or any communication that you can use to prove your side of it, gather it and if he sues, see a lawyer. Otherwise, it's an idle threat.

Who would buy a boat without testing it first? no one....
When he took it from you it was working and who knows what he did to it after he bought it from you, let him take you to court, he won't have a leg to stand on, and make him pay for anything that incurred , like court fees and your time.

Unfortunately you can take anyone to court for anything these days. But it doesn't mean he will win.
