Well, two things.
You say he is trying to make two thousand from the trade. Sure he is. That is how he pays the bills, feeds his family, and supports you. Keep in mind, he has work to do to sell it too.
As for who pays? Is it on the bill of sale? If so, then no doubt, he has to provide. If not, you two are going to have to work something out. Hard to give an opinion if we werent there and you had a word of mouth deal. Try to determine the best you can if it is in the cost of the boat or if it was just never ordered.
Good luck, and hope it works out for you.

If you have documentation then I would demand he pays for it. If it is not in writing anywhere but he gave you a verbal agreement then he pays for it. Just remember before you burn bridges that this is probably the place will you need for service. Next dealer could be quite a drive.

It is very important to make sure everything gets itemized on the sales contract as to what is included, exactly. Then whatever was agreed to was agreed to without question.
If your contract says you were to have hydraulic steering and that it was included in the price you agreed to, than that is what you agreed to. If it does not say it was included in the price you agreed to, then you have a pi$$ing match.... which nobody wins.
Bad deal. I hope it can be resolved without hard feelings.

I would say if it isn't on the purchase agreement, he wouldn't even have to pay half. Verbal is hard to prove. It's also a no-win situation for all concerned.If it was me, and not in writing, I'd convince myself I had a good deal before, and pay hALF, and chalk it up to experience.
