I'm a noob to the site, and there is a ton of great info on here. I've been in a bind here in Missouri for about 7 years now. I really hope someone has some insight, because I'm at a loss and paying indoor storage on a boat that I've never driven.About 7 years ago, before I left SoCal (El Segundo) I met up with a guy by the name of Ted Stotelmyre who was doing business under the name (and USCG builders license) of Eclipse Custom Boats. The only thing custom this guy turned out was a customized registration mess that cost me about $28,000 for a boat I can't title or operate and was supposed to be delivered to Missouri within a few months.About 2 months past the time the new boat should've been here, I put pressure on this guy to send the boat. I found a local carrier here in Missouri that ran that way, and let them know it would be sitting in such and such tranfer yard he dropped it at. After about a month, I inquired weekly with the carrier - who had refused it because it was overwide to ride a carrier truck. At this time I had a friend pick it up (the transfer yard wanted to hold it for ransom - even after my hatch ram, cover, batteries and brackets and 2 of my new tires (on a brand new trailer) had disappeared.Here's what I've got to deal with now - 7 years later (boat titles as a 2000 Eclipse 20.5 Bowrider w/ 25 hours on it <25 hours?!>). A trailer on an MSO with no bill of sale (real nice of him to not provide that to me), a boat that he registered to the company without telling me (and waaaaay after it was paid for), and a title (which he tried to hold onto for some odd reason.....) signed on the lien holder spot with no lien (I paid cash). Incidentally, I have not been able to locate this guy in the past 4 years to get any further on this - just seems to have disappeared.I have now had the boat and trailer in my possession for at least 5 years, can prove it with dated photos, and yet the local Barney Fife Dept can't seem to make this thing work for me. I have tried and tried and tried. Even thought about just forging his damn signature on the title, and a couple of bill of sales (or maybe someone else's and say they were an authorized signer for the company) to make this thing good.All I know is - I love jet boats, I'm a SoCal native and I grew up deafened by the open headers in a Sanger. I wanted my own and here this thing rots. It has a few (pile) of other troubles (mostly from sitting), and if I ever get it straight I'm gonna run this thing in spite of the builder. I'm open to any and all suggestions, as I'm about to the point of making a fish bed out of it before I move to Georgia soon.Thanks again, and rock the water not the boat :-)  Aaron
