i was also told by a reliable source that you entered tantrum in the 2008 special olympics as special T... do you get a tax break for being his big brother? p.s. stay out of the 609 area so no one steals the tires off your dually, you know how those pineys are
if it ain't nailed down...

Hi tweakinit and welcome to OSO!!
Like many of us I have been frustrated with new posters who come on the board with strong opinions and either pass judgement on members or tell us to act differently in their initial few posts. By using the safety of the anonymity that most web forums offer as part of their nature some of these new folks do become suspect of their motives when they cling to their secrecy and talk in general terms about events, people, transactions, etc.
Most recently we have experienced a tragic accident that prompted many new members to share their feelings and opinions alongside some long term OSO'ers and all of us are a little more sensitive to the power this forum offers to both new and old performance boaters and friends.
Being more of a lurker, I took a look at your other post before responding and if I'm not mistaken, you provided both your name AND your phone number in your first post. So although my initial reaction was to bring you up to speed on how we've handled BS transactions, and encourage you to introduce yourself to the board I'd like to remind other members that you appear to have mitigated any sense of anonymity, and eased our, or at least my caution around new posters I referenced in my opening comments.
Welcome and my 2 cents is that the boating business community has a lower focus on customer satisfaction and often OSO associated businesses can make poor and unethical decisions. It's not the norm by any means, but unfortunately I'd encourage anyone here to add several layers of protection when negotiating any transaction. Just ask Semper Fi and anyone who got caught with National Marine.
And of course, posts suck without pictures so here are some pretty colors.
