Still, it's amazing. Every time I log onto this site I learn something. For real. And one of the best things I see happening here is conflict resolution.

This a perfect example. One guy was man enough to apologize. The other guy was a big enough person to accept it ... truly accepting apologies isn't all that easy.

Back to lurking. Sorry for the disturbance.

You're giving this way too much credit.
Or maybe you aren't.

It's only gone on this far because a few hoodlums hi-jacked the thread, and it evolved into a new topic. It's become just fun between friends.
I'm glad to see the resolution.
But the Hi-jack, and goofing off is the fun part for the rest of us - and it is only available and prudent with the resolution.

Apparently you missed the "little blue boat" thread :)

I walked out from under it. It's a big desk. :D

The funny thing is, Chris may be free with his opinion and knowledge, to a proverbial somebody's discontent I suppose..... but he is also liberal with his time and talents. One of the few people on OSO who will proactively help someone. Not wait to be asked, but ask to help. First to PM somebody and say: "I could help. I have that equipment." A few years ago I had the chance to meet him and I am glad that I did. He's good people. For a big meanie.

Boy.......that sounds A LOT like Fred Cecil doesn't it? The only problem with Fred was that he just couldn't find the roll of packing tape to close the boxes of parts for shipping, and he also couldn't balance his checking account very well.......right? :D :D

bcfountain 04-14-2010 09:57 AM

good job guys
 
now thats how two men work out a problem,not with insults and all that other b/s that come with a disagreement.good job guys.

That's funny. And to think that there was a period of several years that you would be FLAMED off of OSO for speaking unkindly about Fred.

This thread makes me remember why I love being a part of this group. I havent meet three fourths of you but I know most people on here are avid boaters that I trust have the same interest as me. Great thread.

Skullkrusher 04-14-2010 04:19 PM

What dragged this up? A lot of guys proabaly don't even know they're reading a two year old thread.

FuelinAround 04-14-2010 05:23 PM

It popped up in my new posts today!

Nort dragged it up as part of a defamation campaign against a guy with a competing website. s e r i o u s o f f s h o r e d o t c o m.

Anyway, I am glad that he brought it back. It brought back a lot of memories.

Since my post that Nort quoted, Chris has started an entire forum for his friends, he has given thousands to charity, He even took a day off of work and met me at 3am so he could drive 500 miles and then tow my boat back because I didn't have enough tow rig.

Then he arranged for a great cam builder to do my cams and ordered me new AFR heads and then he paid for it and let me pay him back later. Then he brought the parts to a poker run for me.

That's just since my post. :D

Thanks, Chris!

There ya go, If more people would just fess up and be big enough to apologize and others big enough to except, the world would run alot smoother. my .02

I am so sorry that I didnt know earlier that you guys there in Miami have only 1 trailer for all the boaters of Miami! If I only knew earlier I would have shipped one over from Europe because we have here even more than one unused trailer!

cigracing1 04-27-2010 09:22 AM

Wow, I can’t believe how far this thread kept going. I actually had sent Chris an email saying we decided not to sell the trailer and was sorry for any inconvenience. I had never once traded phone calls with him nor do I know him so thought it was a pretty simple sorry we are keeping are trailer and move on, Nope! I got this email from Chris basically saying he would ruin my reputation on OSO unless I titled a thread in the general section stating I screwed him.

I was focused on the rebuild of our 24 Cigarette Firefox in memory of my brother and so I didn’t want him to ruin anything I did what he asked.

Now I’m focused on my cousins 2011 38TG covergirl setup with 600’s and yes Lip-Ship Edition that we are picking up this weekend in MIAMI!

Sounds like him. :drool:

Just an all around stand up guy.

pm203 04-27-2010 09:53 AM

What a jackass he is to make you start a thread like this. I can't believe it backfired on him. By the way, I saw the 600 Topgun when I was in Miami several weeks ago. Very nice! Tell your cousin good luck with it. I am sure Phil will fine tune it to perfection.

If your cousin is feeling sentimental or wants to do a before and after comparison just let me know. I'd be happy to drag the old girl down. We can switch for a day.

For the record, cigracing1 helped me aquire my 91 Cafe. Everything he told me over emails and pm's was true. I had the pleasure of meeting him when I picked my boat up and I also got to check out his fantastic Cig Firefox. He also went out of his way to arrange lodging and entertainment while we were there. A stand up guy! :cool:

Lets call it a lesson learned and a piece of charachter development for you. All our actions come at a cost. You made a mistake and owned up to it like a man and for that I respect you.

For me, the issue is closed. Good luck on your Firefox project.

Chris

what an arrogant pig, to make a statement like this especially after he extorted someone to make it happen...

No I don’t think I still have the email nor do I care to look for it. Like I said I didn’t even know the thread was still going until it popped up in the GA section this week.

I deleted my original “firefox” thread because I wasn’t happy with OSO moderators who new Chris was bullying people around but then that wasn’t fair to the people who enjoyed my thread and me rebuilding by boat in memory of my brother.

This thread is over if you want see a worthy thread checkout my “Firefox” thread in the Cig section.

Thanks for posting! Chris Sunkin is an FU individual to do that to you. SICKO!! Well.....thanks to you if anyone Googles "Chris Sunkin" this is right at the top with many other links to his lies and issues.

Ed.....there is no witch hunt but there are people that care about our sport enough to expose a liar and fake. Did you read what Chris Sunkin did to this OSO member right on this thread? Are you okay with that? So the bottom line for me and most others I've spoken to is YES....it does everybody good to expose Chris Sunkin.

sonic 05-01-2010 09:13 PM

I say first we cut his balls off then we hang him.

Mr. Sunkin emailed me the other day to check on the status and i told him i have decided not to sell and that i would be keeping the trailer for another project. Breaking this agreement put Mr. Sunkin in a tuff situation, for if i had contacted him 36 hours earlier he could have had his boat picked up cost free. I realize I let the OSO family down and will remove myself from anymore contact on OSO.

Chris i sincerely apologize for this matter and in no way meant any harm to you or OSO.

Regards,

Colin

What a pompous, self serving extortionist! It's so disgusting and fantasticly unbelievable .....that it's hard to imagine a man would do this to another man. Just to create an air of self righteousness in the Offshore Community. Flat out disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!

tommymonza 05-01-2010 10:39 PM

I remember reading this thread years ago and thinking this guy must have some serious pull to demand that kind of apology or cigracing was one hell of a standupguy to own up to his change of mind.

For the record what was the meltdown that was created by the chain of events of Cigracing deciding not to sell his trailer and who were the people that were left hanging?
