This boy's uncle has a boat but no engine. The uncle wants to take the boy fishing EVERYDAY but just cannot afford to put an outboard on the back. If anyone out there would like to see this boy start his lifelong love for this wonderful sport and has a spare motor, please contact Uncle JR at 918-XXX-XXXX. Lets get this boy on the water!

Thanks!






What really made me laugh was ANOTHER CL poster did a "RE" this boy cant go fishing and made the following statement.

"Uncle needs to get a job and earn some money to buy an engine for the boat. This shows the young boy that you need to work to earn pleasures in this world. This way he dosen't end up with a cardboard sign on the side of the road begging for money!! Good life lesson !! "


I agree!!!

But if he got a job they could only go fishing on weekends.

Yeh, I see ads like this all the time in the Toronto area.

Always a sad story asking for a free trailer, or boat or camper so the children can enjoy the pleasures of boating/camping/fishing/canoeing etc.

I've always wondered if anyone responds to them. Maybe I should post an ad for a wakeboard boat so my sons can learn to wakeboard with a proper setup :D
