What to do if I sold a used boat for $2600 “as is” and it started and ran when I had it but the people who bought it say the motor is bad?
They want me to refund their money or they are going to seek legal action. Do they have a case?

No, they do not have a case and it sounds like they are trying to pull a fast one on you. First, they had the option to take this to a boat mechanic to look it over to ensure nothing is wrong or to identify the problems. Second, they bought it "as is," which means no warranties. It is, essentially, buyer beware. They may or may not have made a bad deal. Just make sure you kept all of your advertisements and paperwork.
