Amazes me that someone would have the balls to buy anything with that brand name on it.

He really has trashed some iconic brands legacies.

When I first started this thread, I was under the impression that tony had lost the brand. After the bad deals with chuck and the doctor on the 43, I was told he was gone obviously that isnt the case. I always like innovation, which is why i wanted to see pics. Last thing this industry needs is another shady builder selling possible splashes and bilking people of their money. Out of principle and my friendship with chuck, i would NEVER purchase anything that had a frisina fingerprint on or anywhere near it.

Gino,

By all means, do your homework. You can start by calling me as I represent Sonic and Tony, who has turned his entire operation into a solid business.

Chuck,

You can call me too. Better yet, have your attorney call me and we can discuss the entire situation, facts and all. I think those conversations may produce better results than ranting on OSO.

Thanks.

Mike,

I don't know you but I always feel your posts tend to be honest so lets hope this time you can really produce results for Chuck. I know at one point you were building a new boat with Frisina, it was in your avatar. Did that actually happen?

Maybe the best result would be for Chuck to get his boat? It's a pity that a transaction like this has to come down to attorneys negotiating...more money out of the pocket. No disrespect to you but this is really unfortunate.

JS - I have a great relationship with Tony. I put my project on hold because I was just too busy. He and his crew at Sonic have moved on and forward. They have a terrific new base of customers and are on solid ground now.

As for Chuck's situation, OSO is a great thing, but rarely does it work to resolve business issues. People say too many things out of emotion, friends/supporters jump in with only partial information, and a terrible mess is created. I think honest dialogue in a traditional setting works better. I know the OSO attacks have done nothing to help In this instance. Proof is in the pudding, right?

Indy - the second paragraph of my response to JS applies to your post I think. I know all sides to this situation and can assure you that making demands and bald declarations on OSO about who is right and entitled to what has not worked, obviously, and won't work in the future. I just think it would benefit the two actual stakeholders more if this matter left the pages of OSO.

Is Chuck getting his Money or his New Boat or His Old Boat back this Year???

what a steaming pile of crap ... the only thing that would have made that situation right was receiving a product that was paid for. Real honest businessmen dont need an attorney to speak for them, their actions speak louder than any paid mouthpiece.
