I recently purchased an '84 American and i absolutely love it. Lots of them out here in the NW, since they were all built in Spokane. Mine is an American, but they also were built by Apollo hot tubs for a while. I have heard lots if interesting stories about how the companies evolved, and how the molds moved around from company to company. Also, and interesting story about the powering of all these boats, and how they were all chev 350s for a while since the ABC owner purchased them all from an out of business supply house?

American bought the rights to the Starfire and rebadged it an American Eagle. There were several modifications to the deck mold at this time. The engine cover was enlarged for better access. There were several other modification to the deck over the years of manufacture. It was made as an I/O, with Mercruiser, OMC and jet drives. One of the more popular was the 302 and 351 Ford with 888 outdrive. American built the Eagle until 1983. Ralph at American had worked for Apollo. He was having a difficult time getting outdrives from Mercruiser due to credit issues. Some of the final Americans had Olds Jet drives. There was a train carload of boat engines that were involved in an accident and were damaged in a train wreck. Spauldings Auto wrecking got the OMC jets. Ralph purchased these from Spauldings. These were Green engines with Jet Drives.

"One, in Monroe, belonged to a real boat shop that had no connection to Warnock."
Between 1981 and 1990 Phil has been the principle in over 30 corporations, most of which ended in bankruptcies, owing creditors thousands and in some cases millions of dollars.
In October, 1985, the Washington Attorney General filed a complaint against Warnock and three of his companies due to consumer fraud. A consent decree was entered where Warnock owed consumer restitution of $33,215 to 9 consumers.
As of 1990, only one $500 payment was made, which was returned to the State of Washington NSF.
In November, 1990, after six months in business, the New Jolly Roger Marine Corporation, owned and operated by Phil Warnock, closed its doors for good – owing employees, federal government, state government, creditors, and customers over $280,000.
In 1993, Criminal case No. 93-1-03387-3 was investigated by Pacific Police Detective Randy Ostrander, and prosecuted by King County Fraud Division Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ivan Orton, against Philip Warnock for deliberately defrauding employees, customers, creditors, and the government.
Phil was charged with 209 counts of theft and fraud
According to Mr. Orton the number of counts filed is a record for the fraud division
On February of 1994, Phil was convicted and sentenced to 29 months in prison and over $70,000 in restitution
As of October, 2001, Phil still has not repaid his restitution under this criminal conviction from 1993 and had a hearing in December, 2001 regarding this. The court ordered Warnock to produce additional records and scheduled a new hearing for March, 2002.
In 1998, Phil Warnock married Vicky Cutchlow. Vicky, a successful realtor for Coldwell Banker, personally financed Phil in an endeavor to create a new boat company. The boats were brand named “Tiger Trax” after Vicky’s professional nickname “Vicky Tiger”
Phil, in an effort to protect corporate assets from creditors and legal judgments, operated his new boat company under four corporate names: Corporate Services Division, Financial Services Corporation, Marine Manufactures Division, & Tiger Trax Watersports.
In early 1999, Phil began to repeat his trend of defrauding creditors & customers.
In March of 2000, Greg Corlis, Vice President of Marketing & Sales, uncovered Phil’s new fraudulent activities and immediately contacted prosecutor Ivan Orton.
On the advice of the King County district attorney’s office, Greg quit his job at Tiger Trax Watersports the next week.
As Greg was leaving the company, and in an attempt to prevent further consumer abuse, he notified customers and creditors about Phil’s activities to defraud them.
Ivan reports complaints from at least seven customers to the district attorney’s office claiming fraud by Phil in 1999 or 2000. Unfortunately, so far these seven cases have not been investigated by the police department.
As a result of Greg’s efforts, and in an attempt to flee creditors and defrauded consumers, Phil had to close the doors a second time.
In 2001, Phil re-opened his boat factory for a third time, this time in La Conner, WA, presumably financed again by his wife Vicky. This time he is operating under two corporate names of: TGR Holdings Inc. & Global Marine Specialties, Inc. (DBA GMS)
In June of 2001, Phil collected $22,806 from Aaron Buerman & Scott Evans and promised to deliver a boat in three and a half weeks, we later learned that Phil had no intention of completing a boat.
In August of 2001, after receiving repeated excuses for not delivering a boat as promised, Scott & Aaron asked for the return of their money.
As of February 2002, no money has been returned
As of October 2001, Phil Warnock, Vicky Warnock, and their companies have over 20 civil judgments against them in King County from 1999-2001. These civil judgments total over $150,000[2]
Of these judgments since 1999, records indicate Phil & Vicky have satisfied only two, or $17k out of $150k decided by the civil courts.
These numbers do not include the amounts Phil still owes in restitution from his criminal conviction in 1994, or cases that were settled out of court or in other jurisdictions.

JOLLY ROGER NOTES
I am the daughter of Chuck Walters (passed away in 2007) who designed and built Jolly Roger boats here in Spokane Washington. He bought it as a small company out of California and moved it to the industrial park, where he redesigned the hull and installed the Berkley Jets, Merc IO's and Merc outboards. It's really fun to see so much interest in the boats and curiosity of where they came from. We lived on Priest Lake near Indian Creek and spent a lot of time running around the lake in multiple Jolly Rogers. I even got to pick some of the colors. My two brothers can shed a lot more light if anyone reads this and would like to connect with them. Also if you see the popular Priest Lake boat - American, (Roy Johnson) that was Dad's friend who used the same hull design after JR folded - then there was Apollo after (Jack Hofford). I see someone has a Jolly Roger DGB - I remember Dad naming that model. The DGB stood for 'Damn Good Boat"
original price $450
The boat was made in Spokane in a time when Spokane made, among other things, boats. Jolly Roger boats experienced a brief popularity, along with other, similar styles made locally, like American Eagle and Apollo boats. You can dig and dig for more on the Jolly Roger Boat Company, and you'll find a 1969 newspaper ad that promised top speeds of 70 mph (for the jet model) and featured a gratuitous image of a woman in a bikini. You'll find the company listed as residing in the Spokane Industrial Park, owned by a guy named Charles E. Walters, and, according to the Spokane Daily Chronicle, sold in 1970 to the Pacific American Marine Corp. You can reminisce with veteran marina owners who remember the Jolly Rogers, but not exactly what became of them after they rolled out their final models in 1974. A lot of people think the company was absorbed by Apollo Boats, but the son of that company's late owner, who folded the boat operation to make hot tubs, will tell you that wasn't the case.
