Trident Funding W Craftsman Way, Hampstead

3/2021 - I found Scott, and Trident Funding, after doing a search on a boating/fishing forum (The Hull Truth) that I am on often. Several members endorsed his services, and their write-ups were extremely positive and complimentary of the customer service, professionalism, speedy and fair treatment they received when dealing with Scott for a boat loan. The only reason I even searched, is because I became disappointed as a return customer to a boat lender in South Florida that I had dealt with before. It was obvious that they didn't have much time for my little six figure boat loan needs, or at least I got that impression with their attitudes, hence my call to Scott. Mind you, I wasn't denied a loan with them, they just acted very arrogant on the phone with me when I dared to bother them with some questions leading up to a purchase. I didn't appreciate the treatment, and figured I would check around for some other options... As soon as I got Scott Bradshaw on the phone he treated me like a friend. Seriously, he was actually on his way to lunch and had transferred his calls to his mobile and we talked until he walked into the restaurant to have lunch. When he got back to his home office, he promptly called me back. He worked up some numbers for me that beat the other company that I had dealt with before, and would actually take the time to talk with me about options, terms, and advantages and disadvantages of the other options. I felt very comfortable with him, he treated me extremely kind, and was extremely responsive to my needs. It was in the afternoon of the first day that I talked with Scott that I sent him my information so that he could give me the thumbs up or down on a loan. By lunch the following day, Scott sent me a congratulatory email that I was approved, and also provided a letter of pre-approval. The ball was rolling! Scott and I stayed in touch almost daily, and I am confident I wasn't his only customer. A few days into the process we started talking boat insurance. I was one of the ones that had Boat US before Geico bought them out. Geico put the screws to me, unknowingly, and had almost doubled my annual rate over a period of two or so years. Scott had an awesome hook with a friend (Adam Meyer - Maritime Insurance International) that he works with often that specializes in marine, aircraft, and mobile home insurance. Adam was like Scott's identical twin! Never have I had a more positive experience getting boat insurance. Not only a positive experience, Adam provided me with some awesome options, and educated me along the way on the advantages and disadvantages. When it was over, I had VERY affordable insurance for the new boat, and I was covered well. I don't do a lot of reviews, and I am one of the very few holdouts that hasn't yet found a need for Facebook, hence the Google review. I almost started a Facebook account just to do this review for Scott and Adam, because they treated me so well. As long as Scott Bradshaw is selling boat loans, and as long as Adam Meyer is selling boat insurance, they will both have my business as long as I have a boat! Cannot say enough about them, but they are both LEGIT, and will treat people with courtesy, professionally, fairly, honestly, and even in a red hot boat market, they will actually follow up and communicate at a pace that is truly remarkable. Just great people, all the way around... Michael D. Brunswick, Georgia 3/2021

John Schachel was excellent. He communicated and handled everything very professionally on my boat loan. I am going to use him again. Thank you John

they helped us buy our used boat, they were easy to work with and were able to knock it out in less than 4 days. thx
