I found the add here for two 454's paid for them to be shipped, then told the guy i was coming to get them, drove 18hrs. to come up empty handed this guy is a ghost now, here was the add, http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o34206-en.html His name, so he says is David Clark Casto, of Palatka Fl, motors were supposed to be located at 701 N Moody Rd. Palatka Fl. his phone number is 386-951-0076 any info contact me, Chris Asche at 219-746-9910 Thanks in advance for the help!!!!!!

We are in the same boat, no pun intended. I paid for them, along with shipping and have not heard hide nor hair from him either.

Christian

The pics in that ad and the phone are different. these were supposedly located in in Palatka Fl. I will go to my bank and hope the account that it was wired to is new nd they had to jump through all the homeland security hoops in regards to ID

Unfortunately I can't help you, but I'll understand when you tear somebody apart limb from limb. You got screwed and you're pissed, so a natural action is to be pissed, so you're going to screw over someone else. ( Not saying you will, just understanding your frustration ). Good luck with your situation

I sent this casto money too and still cant get in contact drove 17 hrs to pick up drives and could not find him lets band to gether and get what we paid for 516-507-2713 call me if you are in the same boat up a swell with no motor

phantom, no not the same add, but a shame these peolpe are doing this!!!!!! Christian, there are now at least 3 of us who have sent money now, you need to contact me!!

Why would you pay money in advance if you're going to go pick up the engines in person anyway?

because was going to ship them, then after sending money, had a buddy offer to make the trip for me

I really can't understand why anybody would send somebody you don't know a bunch of money for engines that you have never seen. I think some people are just too trusting.
