Can’t say enough about Vincent and his team at Trident Funding. This is our second boat purchase and he has helped me on both of them. I wasn’t feeling well so he came to the house with the paperwork which was a huge benefit. I would highly recommend using Vincent to anyone in the market for a boat.
