Default DeLand power boat builder indicted in Ohio, sued for $270K by New York man for fraud

Terrance Weber wanted to repower his 30-foot Spectre performance boat so he reached out to a DeLand company that builds the "go-fast" water vessels. But three years later he's still in "paradise without his boat" and out more than $270,000, according to a lawsuit.

It doesn't look like he will be getting any relief anytime soon, either. In July, owners of the boat-making company, Todd Allen Lamb, 50, and his wife Karen Nicole Lamb, 42, were each indicted in Ohio on nine counts, including felony charges of grand theft.

And in a bizarre twist, Weber is also in trouble with the law. On December 24, 2022, he allegedly paid a man to steal a boat from Lamb's DeLand shop and faces charges of burglary and grand theft of more than $100,000, according to court records.

Yes the guy suing is all over FB posting and yet he was charged with trying to steel a boat back, what a mess.

I can't imagine losing that kind of money and there's nothing he can do to get it back

All night long on a pile of stolen money. How do you spend that kind of money without checking up on progress?

According to the story Terrance Weber was checking in. Then after a while it aounds like lamb started showing his hand how he wasn’t really building a boat for him

How do you spend all those people’s money if you’re not building them boats? That far behind? Into the nose candy a bit?

I remember seeing this back when they stole the boat. Todd Lamb, spectre, had a decent side to his story but can't remember details. Both sides seem pretty Shady though!

All these stories seem very similar in the boat building business.

Here’s another one, was surprised to get this text this afternoon out of nowhere



https://examiner.org/todd-karen-lamb...9-Wbyj19kck2qQ



the wife is such a saint she was just off federal probation a week or two before these charges from stealing a couple hundred k from social security.



here’s one from a boat deal before he was building boats.



Skater deal gone bad
