Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

refundable deposit
I put a 5,000 dollar deposit on a boat with the verbal agreement that the seller would finish the on-going restoration project and replace certain parts of the boat. Upon the second inspection, over a three week period, I viewed discrepincies which varied from the agreement, therefore, I decided against the purchase. On the check I had given was written ''boat deposit-36 trojan''. Nothing was written or agreed about the deposit being non-refundable. The seller does not want to refund the deposit and has stated that he has used the funds. What are my legal options?

Re: refundable deposit

You can sue him or you can have an attorney send a demand letter first asking for the deposit back.
