An original Spectre by Jay .
Sadly it was stolen from Brick, NJ on one New Years Eve and later found out on Long Island stripped and cut up . Also cut up the stringers ???
I called Frankie one day that used to work in Ft Pierce plant to see if I could buy it. With my experience in glass work I could fix it myself. I was considering making a photo boat out of it with a mini tower.
I believe he was going to check with the owner but never heard anything more about it. I assume it is still just sitting there unless it was used for another purpose....

It was asked early in the thread if the cat was a new boat and nobody seemed to know. I got a call last night suggesting that it's the Target that was in the OSO classifieds for awhile. Split the deck and running surface, pull some molds and put it back together as a new boat. Does anyone know who or where that boat from the classifieds went?

I'll say you're incorrect...we all have a dog in this fight. Many members on this site have been victims of shady boat/mechanic/parts deals here, some of them more well known than others. It's a plague that seems to pervade this small segment of the overall marine industry and it makes those who operate with integrity have to jump through hoops to garner business at times. We also pay for some of this BS through higher insurance prices, we're not immune from this type of underhanded garbage.

Valid point especially when looking at the big picture. The smaller picture and what I meant by my comment was that I don't know either party nor do I have a vested interest in either. I have read all the posts and know a bit about the history, I have read Chucks continual bashing ( maybe rightfully so) and his statements about doing the right thing so I was curious as to what the right thing is.

If I were Chuck, I would want a full refund with interest.
What appears to have been ordered cannot be delivered .
Other than the shape and length of the boat, from what I read Chuck had special gauges and interior designed for his boat that appears to have been removed after the company was no longer permitted to use the Spectre name.... Seems fair enough. If you can't deliver the new boat as ordered give him a refund. Sell it to someone else. Now being a demo, the boat is a "used boat".

We still don't know Frisina's side, surely there had to be some demands (reasonable or not) for delivery. Silence just creates suspicion. I agree with the micro view of this, nobody but Chuck has a vested interest in this but the bigger picture is what most of us are interested in.

I'm far from a representative for anybody, just a curious OSO member. I did meet Tony recently at the Miami boat show and had a brief conversation about the new 32, I also mentioned that after reading your posts that I'd be nervous if not reluctant to do business with him. He seemed humbled by my statement and said although he has his side to the story he felt it shouldn't be hashed out in a forum. I knew and know a bit of the history and thought I'd just ask you outright and appreciate your candor, I also thought by asking maybe some good could come from it.
Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm reading between the lines of your previous posts
You paid for the boat in full and it was never finished?
How much was owed for your ten weeks of work
Legal fees? You hired an attorney to help resolve this cluster f#%k ?
I know I'm asking some direct questions and certainly you don't owe an answer

If tony himself says it shouldnt be hashed out in a forum, why hasnt he settled it yet then? Its pretty simple, he cant/wont reimburse chuck and the option for a boat is off the table. Sorry, if someone wants something settled, it gets settled.
