Re: Skater deal gone bad

Re: Skater deal gone bad
 

not the first time his name has come up around here :(

Re: Skater deal gone bad
 

I'd like to make something clear. I noticed a person posted here on Offshore Only with regard to my Todd Lamb situation under a new username "Offshore Nightmare". The threads were deleted by the administrator. When I saw it, my first thought was that people would think that I was behind that username since there were only two posts beside the name.

I'd like to make it clear that I do not create alias names to post my thoughts. I have not created any threads here with regards to this because I am not a very active member here and I didn't not feel comfortable doing that.

I have posted more than enough facts on Scream and Fly and as you can see I have not gotten involved in any bashing whatsoever, I have spoken nothing but the truth.

I'm sure the administrator here at OSO can attest to the differences in IP address.

Thank You

An update:

I've been trying to figure out for over a month now why my port engine runs right to 7000+ RPMs and the left lags behind at 6300 or so.

I tried all kinds of things, Stators, plugs, wires, swapped ECUs, switchboxes, been doing nothing but testing. Finally I said to myself, the motors are running too good, it almost seems like the props are a different pitch.

So I sent them out to Mercury Racing, and sure enough, one prop has a greater pitch than the other. They looked fine, they are factory stamped 14 1/2 x 32, but they are different.

Really pisses me off that I had to chase this problem for so long just because the seller carelessly threw some oddball props into the package and like just about everything else, was not up front about it. He said they were the props off the 280s that he had on the boat. Obviously they are not cause his 280s ran correctly on the boat.

ha mike you are not alone my talon i got i was told motors where gone threw and where perfict. after 5 runs one of the motors set up top bearing due to lower seal leak.upon futher inspection that they where both in need of rebuild.so i got two other motors that where spose to be ready to go RIGHT.the blocks are perfict but had to change every thing on them to get to run right ended up on both motors the trigers high speed coils bad.of corse that was the last thing i did but after many hours and money they know run right.the guy i got boat from did make it right when i had bad seal right of in lower but bottom line i got it as is you know.the guy i got the new motors from says he will make it right he will give me two new trigers.i will take them but in my mind that sure the hell does not make it right.some times i thing i go a target on my back you can FU him he is easey.

Todd Lamb Still Doing Bad Business:

Well he's still at it. So you see it is not me. Todd Lamb, after trying to sneak his boat for sale here on the forums without paying, recently sold his 30 Spectre on Ebay.

Here is the feedback after the deal. You gotta be a pretty bad seller to get feedback like this on a high dollar item I'd say. You'd think he could work it out but it just goes to show what kind of the guy he really is:

Here's the link and a copy of the feedback, his username is moneyman.74 (how ironic). Word to the wise, don't buy from the moneyman!

"Seller agreed to but didn't allow inspection of boat & didn't return 5k deposit! Buyer educationms ( 41) Sep-14-05 15:34 Private"

"Reply by moneyman.74: Buyer's financing fell through and a bogus inspector did $10,000 damage to boat Sep-24-05 08:36"

Re: Skater deal gone bad
 

How can you do $10,000 to a boat during an inspection???? What did he drive a truck into it? Who's telling the truth here?

Circle of life came and bit him in the ass. Finally

Nice catch. Funny how some people think their shady past will just fade away.

Glad I saw this he is all over S&F. I was banned from said site for pointing out that David Pou DP Marine in Hilton SC is a crook also, for selling me two 260 powerheads full of used parts and pieces. I reached out to Greg the owner of S&F years ago and again thru Facecrap two weeks ago, and got crickets. It's really sad. I have come into contact with more crooks in the boating business than any other!!

S and F Banned our Talon Brother! Say it's not so.LOL! I always said the guys who could not make it in the pool building business moved on to build boats... building a pool in AR is a joke! I saw this going on working for boat builders first hand in the 70's. That being said I've had some very good experiences since getting back into it. Pete Boat Customs TNT and PBC have been well worth the time and money spent. Do your homework and hang on to your money until your sure your stuff is right or with the right guy.

Heard the new Smart Marine race boat had hull issues?
Someone saw some pics.

They told us at the race the actual boat wasn't ready yet and that they painted the plug so they had a boat to race. That hull was never intended to take those stresses. Or so they said

Dang seen that on FB last night, and people where all over it, Hope know one gets scammed.
