Fliesitdies

As most of you new I have been asking for help over the weekend for donations to help Fliesitdies get a new motor, now I need a little more help. I think I have found a motor, but need a contol box and key for a Yamaha motor, if you can help, or have one please get back to me asap.

hey oldcaster,
I don't have the items listed but I can throw in some money if needed. Just shhot me an email if I can help.

I do not have any items to contribute but can spare a little donation cash-wise. I have the address and am sending my check tomorrow.

can we get an update?

Today, I recieved in the mail for Fliesitdies, One check for $100.00 and 2 boxes of tackle from another donor. It looks like we have pledges for around $1000.00 , I hope that everyone got to the post office and the checks or on the way. So for the best deal I have found is a 40 hp Yamaha, and to purchase it and buy a new set of yamaha controls would be about equal to our budget. I am still shoping, if anyone has a line on a motor, and we still could save some money if we could find a set of used Yamaha controls. I would like to add a personal thank you to each and everyone of you that took up this project with me, I have not had the pleasure of meeting Ramsy, but someone who loves the water as much as he does has to be on the right track in life, I am sure we can all say it is money well spent. Thanks again, THE OLD, OLD, OLD, CASTER !

I am working offshore rite now. I called my wife and she said that she will put 100 in the mail tomorow. I hope a money order will be ok?

oldcaster deserves big thanks and everyone who has kids on here should ask themselves if something happened to me tomorrow, who would show my kid the wright way, u got my vote. FL may one day help ur team to a championship!

Will a different kind of control box work with a yamaha? I might be able to get my hands on a suzuki box.

NO, GOT TO BE A YAMAHA

$%@&!# sorry guys I knew it was a longshot but I figured yall knew more than me. Imma keep diggin around and see what I can come up with. How much does a new one cost?

Hey bud.
It warms the heart to see someone willing to help a young sportsman in need.
I don't have anything for a yamaha but just wanted to step in and say thank you.
