Do you remember being in a situation where money was non-existent and the bare necessities were not within your reach? How many of you can afford to spend hundreds of dollars each year on boat parts, supplies, gas and slip fees so you can kick back and enjoy the good life? I would assume that would be the vast majority of us iboat members. We spend $45 on a battery switch or $160 on a salt water reel without blinking any eye, yet in the back of our minds, we know there are members suffering with the inability to even drive a viable car to their meager job so they can make ends meet.

After discovering the plight of a prominent member who has spent countless hours helping others get their boats in working order and saving them thousands of dollars in mis-spent repairs, I just have to speak out and ask for the rest of the members to lend assistance. This member is just too proud to ask for help, and yet puts their employment in danger due the vast amount of time they spend on iboats helping others with their boat restorations while they are at work.

I can only wish to aspire to such levels of devotion and dedication.

So I am asking everyone to dig into their pocket book and scrape up all the available finances they would spend in just one week of boating and donate it to the Transportation for Iboats Depressed Members Foundation that I have created. These donations will go toward the repairs and/or replacement of badly needed transportation so that members can continue to work, secure in the knowlede that they can commute to work each day. This give them the opportunity to keep providing for their families.

All you have to do is send me a private message indicating the amount of your donation and I will send you the email address to make your Pay Pal donation to. In the end you may qualify for a tax deduction and or special consideration from iboats.

The needy member receive the following meager vehicle and personal assistance from Tammy (in the photo) with their re-adjustment to a smaller car and help with disposing of their present car. Tammy is also authorized to engage with inter personal relations with the targeted member (that would be myself, if you really must know).

Solicitations? I was thinking more like an reimbursed employee expense to be deducted from my fed taxes.... :D

Would that also qualify for the $4500 under the CFC program?

In my experience the woman is more expensive than the car. And mine doesn't look like that (my woman and my car)!!

Save us all some money and take just the car. It would be a lot cheaper and would probably give you a lot less problems.
