Just a lil clarification about Mark at MER. They were top notch from start to finish. Absolutely would do business again. They had and have no no affiliation with Trick whatsoever. So, I'm really wishing that MER was not mentioned in the same post as Trick.

Hi all,
I'm Scott Cecil, Freds nephew. Sorry for all the problems that my uncle has caused you and the boating community. As you see now, the problems ran much deeper than just shoddy business practice. I knew what the outcome would be even back before they picked the name Trick Marine. Same as BK (twice), Pizza inn, and Checkers. What suprises me is that it happened so quickly and before the dollar amount outstanding git bigger. Given enough time larger orders would have been commonplace. Will unc (Fred) respond on the board................im guessing no. Nore will he return Steves email. Thats just the way its going to be.

Fred was my father figure for many years but put an end to our relationship when he screwed me on a deal. Yes, I was the first one to get scammed by Trick Marine!! Pages could be filled about this deal but I'll spare you the details. Just lie after lie and 2 seasons without an busted boat. Ultimately just got fuched out of $6500. People, I dont have that kind of cash and had to firesale a motercycle to pick up my boat from MER Performance. At that time I told unc that i"d never speak to him again. And I never will.

I wanted so badly to flame him on the board and everywhere else possible. I just wanted to drive Trick into the ground but just couldnt make myself hit send. But as you all know I would have been the first one to get flamed for it. What bothered me just about as much at the time was that he was taking up a collection for the Katrina fund. I sure hope they got something after all they had gone thru.

Just a note, Aunt Cynthia had never been a drinker. I know that for 100% certain, but she did hit the bottle for a few months after her son's death. Glad to hear your doing well now auntie.......keep it up!! (she has been off the bottle for quite some time now). Id love to hear from you.

Joy, sorry for not keeping in touch. Good luck with everything. You and Omar(sorry if names wrong) seem very happy together. And the third...............WOW!!! lmk when.

Jon, same thing dude, sorry for losing touch. Should be about done w/ college by now. Also love to hear from you.

Aunt C, Joy and Jon, feel free to call me any time of the day or night ok? (912)659-0114.

Please...........only the people I've invited should call.............respect my privacy.

Please everyone just put this behind you, be careful in the future because we all know there are crooks out there, enjoy boating and keep this a tight knit community.

Contrary to what Pantera650 says, there have not been many threads that were deleted.

We deal with threads all the same way, we read the reports and make a decision of what to do.

When you start a thread going after somesones throat you are most likely going to get it deleted.

For example, that MF XYZ Marine is a thief and stole from me blah,blah, blah

versus,

I am having trouble with XYZ Marine is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I have sent Fred an email telling him how I feel about his actions and asking what he is going to do. It has been two days with no response.

Rob, I find your comments incredulous. You and two or three of your SBRT pals perpetuated this scam on the membership of OSO. Discrepancies in Big Scotty's story were pointed out early on by several members of OSO. The discrepancies in Scotts stories and photos were big enough to drive a truck through. The people who attempted to do the right thing found themselves on the receiving end of seething personal attacks by you, Masher and others.

The membership of OSO has been pretty damn good at exposing the phonies that occasionally frequent the site in the past. You are one of the people personally responsible for stifling those responsible enough to point it out. It's all fun until someone else is out a few thousand dollars.

Now you cast yourself as a hero for exposing Big Scotty? The reality is you were a large part of the problem.

I can only hope the forum members can learn from this mess. We needn't let a small majority of fantasy club posters dominate the general discussions..

Well Greg, I wouldn't say I had everything, but I sure did lose what I had. Katrina took everything but my morals. I was broke and had nothing to my name, but still didn't resort to deceit and theft. I just did what I do best...work my a$$ off. I now have my own business and a new to me house with everything in it. Not patting myself on the back, just stating there is no reason to go down the road that Trick did. Best of luck to everyone, Eddie.
