Dania Beach Marina
53'Hatteras "Cristina"
Owner,James Graney
Vessel arrived at Dania Beach Marina in November 2016.Customer continued to pay for dockage until
September 2017,At that time customer stopped making payments.In September 2017*the boat sunk
during a storm and had to be purnped out and raised.At that time,the Dock Master tried to contact the
owner by telephone and e-mail with no reply.The vessel also received a violation sticker from the US
Coast Guard.
In November 2018 we turned 'the boat over to a Collections Company Stern,Morris &Morris who work
along with Attorney Adam Luskin.We could not turn over to lien as we had no registration number for
the boat and no signed agreernentx A registration number was found on the boat,and proved later to
be incorrect.David Morris tried for a year to contact the owner but could not find him or receive any
response.David Morris and Adam Luskin sent the owner a Notice of claim of intent in Sept 2020 to pay
within 60 days orthe vessel would be auctioned*They heard nothing and set up an auction date in Jan,
2021*Right before auction they found that they had an incorrect Registration number and the auction
was cancelled.
In April 2021 we received a letter from Adam Luskinz Attorney that they had been unable to locate the
owner James Graney and would not continue to represent us,
Through 2021 we tried to have US Coast Guard investigate the boat,but they did not follow up.
In May 2022 John Louis said to contact Maritime Attorney Michael Karcher to have him investigate and
either collect payment,or have boat put in Dania Beach Marina's name*

Re:Dania Beach Marina -James Graney -M/Y Christina Official #539619
Dear Mr.Graney:
By way of introduction,the undersigned law firm represents Dania Beach Marina with
regard to the above-captioned matter.I am writing with regard to the outstanding invoices on the
53-foot Hatteras Christina.As you are aware,Daina Beach Marina has performed various services
and provided dockage as set forth in the attached invoices which shows a balance of $67,080.78.
As of this date,these invoices have not been paid and we are seeking payment on the attached
invoices.
Daina Beach Marina has provided services to the vessel in the amount of $67,791.78.This
amount constitutes a maritime lien against the vessel as well as a personal obligation on the owners
of the vessel.Daina Beach has tried to settle this matter with you.Despite these attempts,the full
amount is still outstanding.
As of this date,these services,approved by vessels representative/captain,remains
outstanding.If Dania Beach Marina is not paid in the immediate future,we will take such steps to
protect our client's rights and interests which could include filing a claim against you as owner and
placing a lien upon the vessel,the vessel's document,the vessel's flag state registration,and with
the U.S.Coast Guard or any other applicable authority or jurisdiction.
Furthermore,should the lien not be paid,the vessel itself could be subject to seizure by the
authorities such as the U.S.Marshal for the U.S.District Court where the vessel is located for failure
to pay the stated lien for services or any such similar seizure in such other jurisdiction as the vessel
may be located.These services constitute a direct obligation by the owners and operators as well
as by the vessel,which would subject the vessel itself to seizure,forfeiture and sale to satisfy its
obligations.
This lien follows the vessel and remains with the vessel despite its location.It is an
obligation of the vessel itself,it stays with the vessel even if the ownership were to change.Should
the vessel be sold or transferred to a new owner or operator,it will remain as a lien on the vessel
itself.Please govern yourself accordingly.

Furthermore,the vessel has remained at the dock for a period of years and without attention
by owners.If we do not hear from you it may be presumed to be abandoned by its owners and
disposed of by a non-judicial sale.This does not relieve owners of their obligation to pay for the
dockage.
Should you have any questions whatsoever,please feel free to contact the undersigned at any
time.Nothing in this letter should be construed as a waiver of any of our client's rights or defenses
at law or in admiralty.
Very truly yours,
KARCHER,CANNING &KARCHER
