there is a hero among us...
 

The shirt off his back is in effect what TOO OLD did for me, i bought a K.E. bellhouse from him and was unable to lacate another. so fred at trick marine (aka TOO OLD) called his mechanic and had him take a bellhousing of one of his own blower motors to help out a customer in need. ME... i offered to pay him ana extra hundred bucks for doing it and he refused to take the addl cash i offered. what a stand up guy. he has earned a loyal customer for his heroic act. i was shocked and awed by him doing this for me. Thanks so much fred, your kindness will not soon be forgotten. i hope sharing this with the rest of you folks on oso will encourage you to give fred a chance to earn your bussiness as he did mine. ratman

Fred goes out of his way for everyone that has a boat in need :D

He gets all the business from everyone I know, and it is all well deserved for one of the nicest guys you will ever meet....Now if we could just get his boat in the water :drink:

Re: there is a hero among us...
 

You just have to understand...Fred doesn't need the bellhousing for the boat to sit on the trailer in the garage!!! :D :D :p

Just kidding, Fred is just an all-around good guy and a huge asset to our "Hobby".

Man Trick Marine is just Plain fun to Fred. we all know he charges more for his Burgers & fries :D

Re: there is a hero among us...
 

Fred is a stand up guy. The fact that he did this comes as no supprise to me.

Re: there is a hero among us...
 

Too Old is a great guy and I look for him to only grow his business. What a class act! BH

Re: there is a hero among us...
 

Be serious. He's thanking you. You just gave him another reason not to use his boat. :evilb:

Sorry Fred, couldn't help myself. :cool:

Re: there is a hero among us...
 

As I've stated before, Fred has and continues to raise the bar for customer service.
No matter what it is I might need, now or in the future, he is THE FIRST person I will always contact. He has helped me out much farther than anyone else would have. I hope someday to be able to return the kindness.

Fred Ceceil Rocks. Plain and Simple...He just plain rocks....
