Complaint Review: Brystar Marine 620 Marine Lewis Investment Group - Austin Texas

In February, 2006 i intered in to a contract with Bry-Star Marine on a 1998 Powerquest boat, i first delt with a man named Bryan Ferguson he was asking for a $10,000 down payment i instructed Bryan Ferguson that i did not have $10,000 to put down and that i had $6000.00 for a down payment, he said since it was winter time and buisness was slow the $6,000 would be sufficient, well after all that me and my family went to Austin Texas at lake Travis to pick-up the boat we gave him the $6,000 and signed the contract and test drove the boat, everything was fine with the boat but the trailer had light problems, they fixed the lights on the trailer after we had to stay in Austin another night which we did not expect we went back the next morning to Bry-Star marine to pick-up the boat, as is good so far so we hooked-up set off on are way back to Oklahoma City, well we made it to Denton, Tx and the wheel bearrings on the trailer failed and we just about lost a wheel off the trailer "again Bry-Star assured me that everthing was good & safe"

well it was'nt i called Bryan Ferguson at Bry-Star marine, after numerous phone calls he finally answered and he was very short & rude and wanted to know what he could do about it, well after arguing with Brian he finally called someone and they came to look at the trailer the man was very nice and instructed us to take it to Max Marine in Lewisville TX, we had to leave the boat there because it would not make the trip back to OKC. Well Monday morning i called Max Marine to touch base with them on the trailer and to see if they could fix the trailer, they inspected the trailer and and called me back and told me that the trailer was very un-safe and that they would not pull it any where so i called Bry-Star Marine to tell them what was going on and they said that they would bring another trailer to switch out and take my trailer back to Austin, TX to inspect and fix if needed, well 2 to 3 weeks went by and Brystar has yet to go to Max marine in Lewisville, TX to pick-up the trailer and Max Marine was calling me wanting me to approve them to fix the trailer or to move it off their lot or they was gaoing to start charging storage fees so i called Bry-Star back and told them what was going on and that there was a $170.00 charge to get the boat out of Max Marines yard and they said they would take care of it well 2 to 3 more weeks went by and i was calling Bry-Star everyday asking them and arguing with them and threatening them to get my boat back to me FINALLY i got a phone call saying that the boat was on its way on another trailer, not the one that was with the boat and that they had my trailer in Austin Tx fixing it, i finally got my boat after 7 or 8 weeks i let about 2 to 3 weeks go by and i called Bry-Star marine to get the status of my trailer and they said they hav'nt even looked at it yet so here we go with the arguing and the threats and i finally got my trlr about 2 to 3 weeks later, now that i have my boat and my trailer back everything was good until my 2 year contract was up and then i get a phone call from a CHRIS BLAIR saying that he was in Oklahoma City to pick the boat up he was saying that i had not full-filled my contract promises and that he was going to take the back to Austin TX, i instructed him that i have full-filled all my obligations and that he was not going to touch the boat, well he tried to threaten me with court orders but i did not budge then he called and said that he just needs to take pictures of the boat to make sure it is in good condition so i agreed to meet him where i had it stored to open the storage unit up so he could inspect and then i locked the storage back up and we both left then the next morning i got a phone call from the storage facility owner letting me know that CHRIS BLAIR had threatened him to let him in the storage facility and CHRIS BLAIR cut the lock on my storage unit and took the boat with out my knowledge this boat was not behind on payments nor was the boat in any danger of being neglected in any way. the contract was for 2 years and Bry-Star marine would try vigorously to get the boat refinanced in to my name and in the event that they could not Bry-Star would do another 2 year contract, well they did not even try to get it re-financed for me they just wanted the $6000 down payment and wanted me to pay on it for 2 years at $426 of month which adds up to be $10,224 so now i have $16,224 invested in the boat, all together i have abou $22,000 invested in the boat after all the repairs on the trailer that Bry-Star did not do and other repairs to the boat. they took the boat back in December 2007 and get this Brystar marine emailed me wanting to know if i would be interested in paying $3800 to get it out of the shop and another $852 in back payments, i told them Hell no and that they should be lucky that i have not sued them yet which i am very strongly considering.
