    Cool Time to Clear The Smoke

    I have been overwhelmed by the feedback we have been receiving lately for New Boats and want to end some Statements of a negative stance being made once and for all.

    It seems that there are claims going around that Stroker, Chub, and Alice have been accused of some horrible low life thievery.
    If someone wants to share FACTS I will gladly listen but for all the childish rumor milling IT WILL STOP!
    Chub and Alice have NOT repaired the old boats in their bone yard and sold them as NEW or even Repaired Boats!!!! Anyone that has been to the shop can confirm that! Anyone that knows these people know they are NOT about the Money!!!
    Chub and Alice have NOT been secretly buying WRECKED Strokers, rebuilding them, and selling them as new. Where does this even come from...We all know where the boats are and Lord knows when one is damaged its BIG NEWS.
    And Chub and Alice are not involved in title fraud. If you have any issues or information in any of these matters you can PM me and I will give you my cell number if you don't already have it!

    We are finalizing things and are on target for our plans.

    Chub is excited to be attending the Rally and may have something to play with. And NO he is not referring to Alice

    So what is the purpose of this post... Grow up and realize that these statements are not acceptable, Lack Facts, and I am here if you have any questions.

    To all of you...We are excited that things are coming together and want to thank all who are putting the rally together and look forward to meeting everyone! A special thanks to Greg for getting it rolling!!!

    From The Stroker Family!

    Chub has always been a great guy. Any knocks on his character are pure ignorance and yes ill defend him in person at anytime. You can talk shit about a lot of folks but not chub. Why would he do something crooked he could care less about the money and he has the molds so why play with some broke stuff?

    Rebuilding boats to sell as new without full disclosure would be playing in very dangerous territory. Not only could you get in legal issues with the title but safety also comes into play. Just seems like too much risk with too little reward. As Mike said if any questions arise call and talk to him, he offered a lot of great advice to me the other day and seems to be very knowledgeable about boats.

    I can assure they are not rebuilding any old boats, they are actually prepping molds right now. He did pull one of the old boats out to send over to boat mate so they could get measurements for new trailers. Maybe someone saw that old boat and thought it was being redone for some reason.

    Sad Part is NO Jason and I was hoping you would pop on this The story is/was that the boats to the right of the shop were rebuilt and sold for new....Obviously from someone who knows ZERO about the bone yard or the amount of money it would take to facilitate this dishonesty. Going to an old saying "You better love the Old Vette because it will cost you more than a new one to build this back!" It takes longer to fix a boat than build one in the condition of those beasts. Matter of fact... I hope someone says they will pay for them as it will cost us to dispose of them and is why they exist

    Oh and I guess the Ambulance was done and doubles as a mobile strip club for the little women of Maryville Yea Yea das da ticket

    This is just crazy! I am on this board all the time, well not all the time but a bunch of times during the day and never saw any of this stuff. It is just crazy for people to say these things just to start a rumor and make a product look bad in the eyes of a potential customer. Be good to see Chub again as it has been a good long while!

    They should give those boats to the fire dept. we did that over here and they practiced putting one out on the water and put one in a garage of a house they burned for practice. I can tell you even a veteran firefighter gets surprised when a boat catches fire and water is of no use

    WOOOOOWWWWW!!! Excellent IDEA! I will get on that and thank you for your input. That will clear up a lot of yard. Will need a chainsaw to cut the trees growing through them in a couple of cases lol

    I know chub is good, real good but I'm doubt you can fix up an old boat to make it look good enough to sell as new. I've seen him bring some olds back to life but make them look good enough to sell as new I don't think so.
