Vet And Soldier Supporter In Need

[HOLYGHOST FISHING]

I AM A DISABLED VET JUST RETIRED LAST YEAR FROM FT BRAGG AS A SFC 82ND PARATROOPER WITH TWO TOURS ONE IN DESERT STORM /SHIELD AND IRAQI FREEDOM. I AM A LICENSED CPT NOW WITH NO BUSINESS WORKING ON GETTING MY BIG 258 MAKO INTO OPERATION. I AM TRYING TO HELP DISABLED VETS AND SOLDIERS WITH GAS ONLY FEES AND IF THINGS GO WELL TOTALY FREE TRIPS. IT IS HARD WITH JUST MY RETIREMENT PAY. I GOT STUCK BACK IN MAY BY TWO ME IN A TANDOM OPERATION WHO SOLD ME A 1999 MERCURY OPTIMAX FROM MOREHEAD AND NEWBERN AREA OF NORTH CAROLINA. I TOLD THEM UPFRONT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO AND THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. I BROUGHT IT ON MEMORIAL DAY AND THE GUY CLAIM TO BE IN A HURRY SO HE SAID HED COULDN'T RUNN IT. HE DID COMPRESSION CHECK IT CHECK OUT BORDER LINE ON ONE SIDE BUT BY THE STANDARDS. I GOT IT HOME AND IN LATE JUNE OR EARLY JULY TRIED TO START IT ONCE I PUT IT ON THE BOAT. I HAD A DELAY BECAUSE OF I NEED THE EXTENTION HARNESS. IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED THE GUY HE SEEM TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS SAYING THAT THE FUEL PUMPS NEED TO BE SOAKED. WHEN I WAS TAKING THEM OFF I NOTICED THAT SOME STREWS WERE LOSE WHICH SHOW THEY HAD ALREADY WORKED ON IT. BOTH MOTORS ARE SHOT. THE HIGH AND LOW PRESSURE. THAT IS OVER SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS I WENT IN DEBT WITH MY CREDIT CARD WITH THESE SCAM ARTIS. I PAID 3500 DOLLARS FOR THE ENGINE WITH DUAL CONTROLL CABLES WITH ONE SIDE DAMAGED( FOUND LATER) AND THE BOTTOM OF THE SHIFTER PLASTIC MOUNT DESTROYED WHEN HE TOOK IT OFF ( FOUND LATER) SO NOW I AM LIMMITED TO TAKING SOLDIERS TO THE TEN MILE RANGE WITH MY TROPHY WHICH I WAS GOING TO PULL THE ENGINE OFF OF TO COMPLETE THE TWINS ON MY 258 MAKO. IF ANY ONE HAS A SET OF THE MOTORS OR A SET OF 26FT MERCURY CONTROL CABLE I WOULD LOVE TO BUY THEM AT FULL,DISCOUNTED, OR A GIFT TO MY PROGRAM ONCE I GET STARTED I MAY CAN TIE IN IN TO THE LAKE RIM FISHERIES VOLUNTEER PROGRAM IN WHICH I AM A MEMBER OF.

IF I CANT USE IT I CAN SELL IT TO PUT TOWARD BOAT REPAIRS AND SUPPLIES. I AM NOT BEEGING OR LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT BUT APPRECIAT ANY HELP. MY EMAIL IS SHOLY1968@AOL.COM GOD BLESS THE USA
