A “smear campaign” has been initiated by Dana Motlik of Gig Harbor, Washington. Dana is a disgruntled ex-employee of Emerald Yachts that was fired “with cause” for alcohol and anger related issues. She has been the focus of a lawsuit brought by Emerald Yachts against her and her present employer, NW Yachtnet of Tacoma. Motlik, is the prime suspect of the investigation relating to the “smear campaign” and for three counts of malicious vandalism in Gig Harbor. Since she was fired, Motlik has posted hateful notices on Craig's List, Complaint Board, Google, and other sites and continues to try to deflect her guilt and culpability by tarnishing the reputation of Scott Alprin and Emerald Yachts. If you would like more information or copies of the lawsuit and complaints, please contact: Scott Alprin, Broker/Owner - Emerald Yachts
TO READ THE REAL TRUTH CHECK OUT THE "PUGET SOUND BOATER FORUM"

This site does not recommend one brokerage over another, we simply offer an open forum where boaters can voice their experiences in buying or selling a boats in the Puget Sound.
If someone uses a "smear campaign" it is Scott Alprin of Emerald Bay Yachts. He uses my name and write completely untrue statements all over the internet. It's all garbage. Reading this accusation is a joke, Dana Motlik and I had nothing to do with it, and the three counts of malicious vandalism ? I do not even know what was done to him? There is a lot of people who had their run with him. If we were suspects in anything I think that we would at least be contacted by GH police department, but I did not even receive a phone call. Since my name have been dragged into this then I have to share with the readers the facts on what happened to Dana Motlik. Yes she worked for him and was fired after she refused his sexual advances ( there was also a restraining order posted by his ex- business partner and girlfriend as well), but he did not mentioned that ! He selectively did not mention that he never paid Dana Motlik her commissions for the sold boats in the time period. She had a no compete contract with Emerald Bay Yachts which stated that she will receive her commissions within 30 days. He was promising her like a used car salesman that she will get paid she never did. He breached his own contract, so she started working for competing brokerage. Scott Alprin is sue happy and drags thing up (look up his records) to the point that a law suit would cost her as much as what the commissions would be, so she just went on in her new job. My conclusion is if you are a potential customer and want to use ethical and trustworthy brokerage my advice is to look elsewhere .
