I noticed that also Tony. He knows what is going on, how could he not? One has to wonder why he would choose to ignore the entire thing. Has anyone looked to see when the last time he was logged on to OSO was? Has he deleted his posts on hear like he has in the past?

You cannot sell for just over cost and stay in business for long. Everyone got great and sometimes unbelievable deals and now look what has happened. And people wonder why?
There is nothing wrong with a company charging and a customer paying fair market price for quality products, especially if you are getting great service.
Personally I have never had an issue with Fred he was very nice and pleasant.
Professionally - - - now that's a different story. And there are many others who feel the same way.

That said, I hope it all ends well for all involved..

With no dog in this fight, again, and all due respect to those who are asking for explanations from Fred ...
What possible upside there could be for him to "chime in" here? What's he going to say? That he isn't having delivery problems? That all is well and his business is thriving and that the guys complaing are liars?
What could Fred say to make it right? That he made some big mistakes running his business? That he's sorry?
Based on this thread, Trick Marine is in deep trouble. Regardless, there's really nothing Fred can say to make it right (and there are probably really good legal reasons for him to avoid speaking up at this point).
So does he owe us all some kind of explanation? The customers who are waiting for their stuff ... most definitely, they deserve explanations and, lacking that, full refunds. But the rest of us, supporters or detractors, he owes nothing.
At this point, I think Fred would have a hard time giving away boats, much less boat parts. My suggestion? Leave the man alone. He has enough trouble. No public declaration of anything on his behalf will change that.

Its too bad that when the people that were having problems with him told their stories on here they were basically told to shut up and go away along with the deleting of their threads.
I wonder how many names were added to the list as a result of those actions? Moderating at its best.
Hope those on the short side get some positive resolution.
Act sooner rather than later.

He was pissed at everyone on OSO. Headed to speedwake and was never coming back.
Maybe I missed something in the past but a few years ago when I was redoing my boat it seemed his prices where not any cheaper than the big guys after adding all the others costs to the total. That was the reason I never placed an order with Trick. Trick shipping was always more.
I hope it all works out for all of you and Fred. I feel bad for the guys with the big orders that may not have deep pockets like some.

Now Tricks email is down as well!
That's what you get from placing multiple $10k orders as a returning customer.
This is a b|tch!
Can't see why James (Big Daddy) or Fred (that I'm pretty sure is lurking around in this thread) can't give us at least an explanation...

YES he should say he is sorry to his customers, it would probably go a long way to making it at leaste better. People are more forgiving then one would think as long as they know what is going on and that there is a plan in place that they are going to be made whole again. Does he owe it to the board? Well I kind of think he does because he was able to start his business because of OSO and Scream and fly. He certainly owes an explanation to his paying customers. If he is the stand up guy that so many of you say that he is then he would be calling people back or returning emails, not continuing to do business on ebay and be damned with these other people. Everyone makes mistakes, it is how they deal with them that makes the man. So far I am disapointed in Fred.
