US1 Fountain ... I think you mean "nip it in the bud." Nipping it in the butt, well, that could be painful.

And people would surely talk.

Something is still fishy with this whole deal. Me thinks Fred is Monster Marine. Until proven otherwise.

proven otherwise. Monster has NOTHING to do with fred. They are new owners and are in the process of trying to sort everything out and get it up and running properly.

if you have any issues call them directly (toll free) and ask. 1-866-689-6790

Now there's a novel idea! Glad someone thought of it. :cool-smiley-011:

I've found that they are busy with getting everything started, so the phones aren't 100% yet. I can't fault them for that because I know it takes a little time with a new business. I appreciate the email and giving me a heads up on the situation. From what I now know, Fred is Not involved with Monster whatsoever. The new owners are doing their best to get everything sorted out and figure out their product lines. They don't have my inventory and they are working on the website, so I'm giving them sometime to get everything rolling. I appreciate everyone's comments about my situation, so we'll see where it goes from here.

I called them on Monday about Stellings exhaust and mufflers and talked to somebody but still no response back on pricing.

Hey, come on now. :D

I've talked with Mike and they have been taken just like me. He did get the website, but no inventory or anything else. They have twenty-five years of an excellent track record, so I'm taking them as a new parts business in the marine world. I agree that Fred's website was tanted, but let's look at them as someone New.

I got taken like so many others. I'm not forgiving Fred or his debt to me, but I'm giving someone new a chance. I know the taste of Trick is still sour, but Monster is not at fault. Let's give them a chance and let them prove themselves.

Are these guys still in business?

First order with Monster Marine was good, everything came in and was what I ordered. Didn't care much for the handling fee, just a way to get a few more bucks out of me.:drink:
