I would like to sue them for cost of engine , money lost on shipping , lost earning from my fishing business, cost of lawyers fees, and what ever I can get out of them for all the pain and suffering they had caused me. , as of today still nothing , also had a hard time contact the lawyer I had hired

I suspect the "hard time contacting the lawyer" is related to the money issues related to the lawyers engagment, especially since it seems no lawsuit was file. This is common where a client pays $200.00 for a letter to the merchant and then the clients expects ongoing and repeated consultations for "advice" about doing this or that, wihtout further payment to the lawyer, by example. Lawyers that are actually getting paid for thier work are usually pretty responsive for obvious reason. At this point, you may need to simply hie anew lawyer, file a lawsuit and move forward - as there are far too many holes and issues that will likely only be addressed in litigation.
