This just sucks. Hope you get the satisfaction(Money) you are looking for. Good luck.

Hey you got a nice trophy though!!


Seriously though this isn't right and they need to come clean with it
Has champs said anything about it?

Where is the title/registration to the boat?

Jeff Welch of BC sounded ticked off about it. They are working on getting me as much information as possible about the boat so that I can provide it to the DA. Obviously I have talked to my attorney about this.

The trophy is real nice!!!

Hope you get what you deserve

And hopefully Anchor Marine will get what they deserve

I would(if you havent) contact TPWD and file a complaint. Since Anchor has a dealers license (i am assuming they do) TPWD can also fine them and or suspend their license and assist you in this matter.

Also, if you can find out who purchased the boat send them a letter informing them of the situation and request that the boat be returned. It is still your boat and you have the right to your property. The purchasing should also go after Anchorage for what is owed to them once the boat has been return. Anchor has violated the DTPA as well as committed fraud and breach of contract.

I am sure your attorney knows that, but holler at me if I can help you. I am working on something similar to this but with a car instead.

Here is a link to a complaint form http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdforms/media/pwd_185_e0100_complaint.pdf

I would be contacting Skeeter, Majek, and all of the other manufacturers that they sell and tell them about your experience and also point them to the KENS5 news segment linked earlier in this thread.

I can't imagine that any boat manufacturer worth a [censored] would want to be associated with this dealer. If Skeeter is still associated with them this time next year, I would be very dissapointed in them. Who is the Skeeter rep for that part of Texas ? He needs to know about this.

That is a very bad mistake on the part of management. The sad thing is there are some really great guys that work there. Hope it gets resolved to your satisfaction soon.

Just in case y'all didn't see the local station story...

"Eyewitness Wants to Know considers the Mireles� issue resolved!"


Resolved with a hot check!! If they even get a check!!

That absolutely sucks!

I hope it all gets resolved.

I always thought that passing a hot check was a serious criminal offense in Texas.

It is! There were some dirty dealings going on over there.

It's a real shame.

Man I am sorry that is happening to you. I can tell you that the future of Skeeter in San Antonio is a bright one with the new dealer they have, but that doesn't solve your current dilemma.

I would hope Skeeter would step up and do something for you (this would be a tremendous PR move), but it will probably come down to a lean on Anchor's assets as they sell off I imagine. Frankly, one of the owners need to go to jail!!!

Who knows, you may end up with a better deal in the end. You are a steller person and it will be rewarded in some way!

I am sure this is really getting Chad with Bass Champs upset!

Wishin' you the best.

Hey Bassin Dave,
Is there going to be a new Skeeter Dealer in San Antonio or is Anchor Marine being bought out by a new investor?

After reading all this If I ever win a boat the first thing I will do is title it and get it in my name and I can go from there. Thanks for the post and sorry you having to go through all that.

Isn't basss champs somewhat responible for this situation?
