Just my opinion, but this was not the first time I have heard about something like this there.
Court is all about proving your case. Your friend failed to prove his case - end of story.

If something happened to you, let's hear it.

Otherwise, it's hearsay and borders needless slander.

Some of us appreciate this Forum and are not desirous of its termination because of needless slander-type posts.

Food for thought - Merrill was presented one day with a re-evaluation by Gilford that in effect made him an overnight millionaire. He could have sold to a developer and retired in style without all the aggravation that is part of owning a marina. He made the decision to provide access for many people without the need on their part to purchase a home from a developer.

If slips are so easily had, then why are some seeking help on this Forum for one - money (not enough), attitude (unpleasant)? Only the person seeking a slip knows the real answer.

Try walking a mile in Merrill’s shoes before you are so quick to malign him with hearsay.

Just my opinion; yours may differ...
