Tres Martin
 

Well to follow up on the thread a few days ago regarding not being able to get a call back from Cig for parts....

I just got off the phone with Tres and he was very helpful. Took all of about 30 seconds to get in touch with him and get the information and parts I need.

I guess I found a new place to buy my parts from.:cool:

I bought my Stainless Marine sea strainers from him after a deal went south with someone else. They were better than expected. Martin Marine is very professional to deal with.

I agree. If you need something from Cigarette, don't waste your time trying to get it directly from the factory. Instead, go to Tres @ Martin Marine or Phil @ Lip-Ship. Both of these guys take great care of their customers!

I HAVE TALKED W/ TRES MANY OF TIMES ON THE PHONE ABOUT A NEW BOAT, HAVE NOT MADE A DEAL , BUT I WILL SAY THAT HE IS FIRST CLASS AND WOULD DO BUSINESS WITH THOSE GUYS ANY TIME.........

Just got back from Florida for some R&R and to check on my Tiger,which is at Martin Offshore for lots of upgrades.
The shop is well organized and very clean.I met Tres and Jackie and others in the shop,all very nice and professional.Lot's of boats being worked on and I noticed something that I thought was very good.As we all have seen most shop's use blankets to cover the interior,but these guys also use protective tape to cover the fiberglass were you would walk on to enter the boat,they even put protective tape on the outdrives.The shop is located on a side street,looks very secure,there is also other shops on the same street,looks like a mini thunder boat row.
Well worth the trip to send the boat from Maryland to Florida for expert work and awesome service.

I just Talked to Jacky a couple of days ago about getting some more stuff, she was also very helpful. Very nice lady.:cool:

Tres and Jackie.....a couple of party animals is what they are! Saw them in action again at the OSO party!!! :D :D

This should tell you a little about Tres,
I called him 2.5 years ago about a Cafe Racer that he (According to the owner) had done the rigging on. So I get him on the phone and tell him I am calling to ask a few quick questions about the boat, to which he says "Sure, no problem." I describe the boat (Year, Paint, Engines, Etc.) and he agrees that he did the rigging. This is where the story gets good:
Off the top of his head he described every piece of that boat. EVERY piece!!! (There was not enough time that could have allowed him to find an old work order, or look it up on a computer, It was off the top of the guys head) He knew the previous owners names, how they ran it, how much $$$ they put into it. Who built the motors, special requests for rigging, any and every change from stock. Everything. Keep in mind that he did this boat 3 years earlier, and its not like Tres isn't a busy guy. Huge help! I went to see the boat two states away and it was exactly as he described. The rigging was perfect. (Side-note: My buyer waited too long and someone else got the boat).
The point is this: Tres was accommodating, Knowledgeable about a product and services rendered 3 years prier, and a hell of a nice guy over the phone. His work on the boat was impressive as well. Very good to have a guy like that in our industry.

Thanks Again,
MD

Cant forget
 

when you service some boats, you cant remeber them all. But when you build and rig them they become like one of your kids, you watch them grow up and leave. I am on the floor alot involved in each project so it easy to remember alot of details. Hopefully each of you gets an oportunity to visit. We try to make you feel at home. Thanks everyone!:)

THAT BOAT IS SOFAKING NICE!! ;)

:D

Not only does he get a nice 38 TG but,,, I will spend some time showing him how to use it properly, maintain it , properly clean it , and he will always be able pick up the phone and get any questions answered on anything he needs about his boat. I met Sofa king and he is first class customer, and I know he will be proud to be boating here in south Fla. Now I need him to get that Cig on some poker runs!:D
