As far as I know it has never been proven that Chris Sunkin did anything he was accused of


Just because you havent seen personally any proof doesnt mean it didnt happen.
I guess because you didnt see 6 million Jews get smoked in WW2 it didnt happen.

What a stupid comment to make.

It's obvious from his post Sydwayz was not comfortable with CS putting the money intended for charity in his personal wallet. The gesture by AT was nice, but the way the funds were handled by CS were inappropriate........to say the least. Don't you think?

Becozzi you asked....check this out....I'll bet you made him pay cash for all the Apache surveys! Your buddy!! The one you shield & by doing so you hurt yourself! LOL!

I've never been in space to verify the Earth is round.....or that the moon isn't made of cheese.....so maybe I shouldn't believe all the lies from the liar Chris Sunkin either. LOL Good grief..... :D :D

You need to pay more attention...doing so could also help in not getting ripped off, too.

Imagine using the service to survey one of his unscrupulous friends powerboats? Can't see how that would go well for the buyer. Probably get a response like "If you don't like it, I can live with that!" to boot!.....Good Grief!

Actually I find it interesting you stalk this stuff. So why?

Good Evening Gentlemen:

Sorry I haven't responded earlier to the nonsense ramblings of Captain Needlepecker and his Merry Men, but I had a full day doing a survey and sea trial of a 2001 54" Searay CMY. Looks like it's going to be a busy week too! A 36' Contender on Tuesday, a 29' Century on Wednesday and a 42' Outer Limits on Thursday. Wow I love this business!!

I'm going to address each post with the quote. Stay tuned, hang on tight and enjoy.

So this check is your proof? Was it returned twice? Was it never replaced? Do you know?

Is the charity willing to stand up and say they never received the money?

Come on, Nort. Even YOU must know this analogy doesn't work here.

Is the Earth being bullied and its reputation at stake?

Sorry to see you're here, as I always found your posts to be thoughtful and intellegent.

Whenever I've been "ripped-off", it wasn't because I wasn't paying attention, it was because I TRUSTED somebody to pay for my work as they had promised. I am happy to say I have only been "ripped-off" temporarily, because I always eventually got paid.

If anybody out there can make any sense of this post, please help me.

"Good Grief"? Is the Captain actually Charlie Brown?

Note to the people out there who were "uncomfortable" with CS taking a cash donation and putting it in his wallet: How about if he put it in his shoe?

Who does that sound like,some guy who took a body shop to court:lolhit:

Did anyone ever see the movie "A Bronx Tale" and the scene about loaning a guy $20 bucks?

That was $100 bucks out of my pocket. It wasn't a business transaction; it was a "donation" to a "charity" which I wish I knew went to the right "cause." Either way, it definately erased a certain individual out of my life.

But this coming up just pissed me off again. What are we arguing about again?

Do you know someone who took a body shop to court?

Ed, using OSO as a Collection Agency.....:lolhit::party-smiley-004:

[QUOTE=catastrophe;3523467]Talk about stupid comments...I SAW pictures of the concentration camps, etc. To my knowledge only the muslims deny that ever happened. Your example/analogy doesn't fit here.

I'm surprised you are posting. Aren't you down on Wall Street with the protesters?

And by the way: How's that "Hopey-Changey" crap working out for you?

Ah, OK.

If anyone feels as though a post here questions the direction of OSO and/or a Forum here; send a PM to Speedgirl and/or hit the report to moderator button. The powers that be will make a decision and that's that.

Works great-last long time.

(Funny, I heard that about the last boat I bought too. I should have bounced a check to Ed. :D )

Hey Ed, I know what we talked about got lost in all of this other crap but I am not really looking at anything besides an Apache, big Saber or maybe the lone Chief. Austin and my good friend D. Campbell speak highly of you and if Dan says your all right then you're all right in my book. Take care

Wouldn't that be great for you when you shined them in the morning! LOL!

CS.....What a scumbag!

Why don't you google Chris Sunkin it will come up.You would not believe me any way.And while you are asking for proof what proof do you have that the pump did work maybe you screwed up.

Sorry, if the pump didn't work at the time of the survey it would have been in my notes and consequently in my report. I have worked out a pretty good system over the years to avoid situations like that.

If you did I would have started a thread in this section and had taken a chance that the "Moron of Middletown" would hijack it to bring up a grudge against me for an old post.

I have been put in a position here of defending a guy I barely know and a situation of which I was not involved. I will not change my principles or my opinion. I still think it is wrong to attack someone without definitive proof of his guilt.

I'll answer this for you, like yourself we all TRUSTED Chris to be the man of his word and the stand up guy that he said he was, he wasn't and isn't, he is still running SOS and hanging on to the thought that one day it will pay him. His personal character flaws of telling lies to bolster his image and his lot in life may not be an issue for you, but TRUST is, if one cant tell the truth about simple things like the number of boats he has owned or life accomplishments, why would one expect him to be truthful in dealing with peoples money?
Yes, the charity was eventually paid, but only because he was caught, the reference check was returned twice and then no attempt was made to pay the debt until Alec got a call months later from the charity. Many times he was given the chance to come clean and just walk away he chose to be defiant, and has been ostracized by many in the boating community. To me I have way more than definitive proof.

As for why your post/thread was singled out, my best guess is that some of the members feel that its a double standard when they point out a liar and thief and you disregard it, why should they help you? I'm not saying it is right or wrong, that's just what i got from this thread. I hope you get paid and this will be my only post on this. As for Chris Sunkin, he is a lying scum and deserves everything bad that happens to him, but that is just my opinion :)

So show proof that the pump did not work.

But the pump DID work at the time of the survey and probably still does.

Allow me to create a hypothetical situation to illustrate why I started this thread:

YOU are the owner of a dry cleaning store. You provide an excellent service for a fair price. In fact, you have not raised your prices since 2006 because even though your cost of doing business has increased, you don't think this sluggish economy can stand a price increase at this time.

You are rewarded for your efforts by business flourishing beyond your expectations.

One day a customer picks-up his dry cleaning that comes to $17.65. Your employee is distracted for a moment, the customer tosses a ten-dollar bill on the counter, grabs his stuff and walks out.

Naturally you have his information, so your employee calls the guy to see why he only partially paid. He tells your employee that $10.00 is all it's worth! Your company didn't do the job correctly.

Then YOU as the owner calls him and he tells you he hasn't even taken the plastic bag off his stuff yet, but he assures you he will stop by and pay the difference.

A week goes by and this guy does not show up. You call him again and he is rude and claims you didn't get a spot out of his sportcoat, he's not paying and HANGS-UP!

We're not talking about enough money for litigation, but is it fair for a guy like this to arbitrarily decide that your service is not worth what you've been charging for years? Is it fair to your other customers who paid full price without a problem?

Yes, I started this thread hoping to cause this guy some aggravation. If it does not happen, that's okay too.

Note to self.... Never defend someone who I barely know about a stuation that I'm not involved in. :eureka:

It destroys credibility, reputations and friendships. Just sayin. ;) :)

Good Advice.

:)

As one of the people who was involved in the ENTIRE train wreck of sunkin and had BS spread about me (like the whole "hostile takeover smokescreen bullchit story"), I'm not willing to argue or do I feel the need to try and convince anyone of anything.

There's enough info out there for people to make up their own mind. Wait for a rainy day and read through some of the threads....but don't get the stink on ya... It's hard to get off!!! :D

I am re-thinking this part of your post.

REAL friends can disagree and still remain friends, right?

Hallelujah! Did you read the thread you busted in on to defend CS? If not, go back & give it a good survey. What Sunkin did to Colin was despicable. I know you don't know Colin or care. I don't know Colin, but I do care. There are too many good people with bad stories concerning CS. Far too many! At least you figured out why I posted in your thread. You hurt your credibility on your own!

What you clowns don't realize is that if YOU were the ones on the hot seat I would have posted the same things for YOU. (At least I might have if it was before I found out what a douche bag you are.)!

Geeze Cozzi, this "Moron of Middletown" guy has got you all twisted Up! LOL!

I just read that whole thread. My posts did NOT defend anybody, just like I've been saying all along. You read what you wanted into it.

Tip #1 Avoid getting into pissing contests with people smarter, more articulate and more clever than you are.


You should have taken your own advice.:eek:

Ed Cozzi has always been a stand-up guy, to me. So he made a mistake about someone's character over a year ago. SO WHAT? You guys are the same ones who believed Chris Sunkin's particular brand of BS. You just figured it out sooner than Ed Cozzi did. Some of you guys are the same ones who jumped all over Rob(offshoredrillin) when he spoke out against Chris Sunkin. You have made your point to the audience and its understood loud and clear.

BA

No sh!t, enough already with this garbage, some here are frickin obsessed pulling up posts from years ago geez...get a life already.
