Default SeriousOffshore.com a performance boat industry liability?

I've heard through reliable sources that Chris Sunkin is still "very much involved" with SOS. I also heard some of the Sunkin "nut swinggers" involved over there that are spreading......"mis-information" about people? Anybody else heard anything?

I sure hope performance offshore manufacturers, magazines, parts and service companies are aware of this and make informed choices if they are contacted by individuals posing as an SOS representative. Hey......maybe Trick Marine could a top advertiser?

Maybe it's all a mistake or misunderstanding.

Sunkin??!! The offshore Satan himself!!! Didn't we cast him into hell? Or at least Gary Indiana? If he is involved, then it's a sure sign that skullduggery is afoot. As for SOS, isn't that like five guys posting? Ok, when Big Chubby gets out, that's 6. No, I haven't heard anything. I thought they were washed up.

Don't blame a vendor that has an add up there. Most are very old and are not being paid for. There are classifieds that are so old the boat has been sold and is for sale AGAIN by the new owner.

Wow....really? That's radickal! :thankyouthank you: If my company or name (or picture) was used on that site for solicitation, site promotion or "credibility", (like MA's pic).......that would be a problem for me, even if FREE.

I flew out there almost two years ago to Shogrens to look at this boat. Now its for sale again by the guy who bought it from Shogrens.

So my point is by looking at who is placing ads there you would think that a reputable company like Pier 57 is dealing with them they must be ok......right. Wrong they probably do not even know the add is up.
