800efi Upgrades

[Matt in the CAT]

I Have The 800efi W/ Teague Brovo Outdrive In A Dcb F29. I Run About 104mph At 5900rpm. I Get To 95mph In A Flash, It Takes A Little More Time To Get To 104mph. Is There Any Upgrade To Get Me From 95 To 104 Any Faster?

To Whom it May Concern:
This is a great question!
A forthcoming response would be very much appreciated and potentially inciteful. As some members may want to purchase aftermarket items which may be suggested.
If you get a PM on this issue let us know what the people at Teague recommended.

Just an assumption....it will all start with the prop selection....usually a few days of trial and error....what prop do you run now??

I Run A Stock Brovo 32" 4 BLADE
I Also Run A Stock 30"4 BLADE In The Heat, But It Only Runs 100mph Tops

Experiment with lab and 5 blades......it can be a bit challenging but we have always found 3-5 MPH and variable responses to prop changes.....I bet a 5 blade would help bump the mid range push but reduce top end....a 34 lab may take more time but increase top end.....may even try a labbed 5 blade (cut down)...this is the least expensive way to find what you need in performance.....anything you do to the Teague motor will usually cost $10K or more!!! Seems to be the magic number on the final invoice!!!!

A 34 will be too big to accomplish what he wants stock or labbed. The 29 is a big boat. He may not notcie anymore top end with it either because he may not be able to turn the optimum RPM's. I ran a five blade and the mid range is great and I did not notice a real loss in top end. I am testing a 30P Hydromotive P5-X this weekend. JMO

Bob Let Me Try A 5 Blade 32" Lab Maxis At The Ds Poker Run. Great Out Of The Hole And Mid But Too Much Rear Lift And A Slight Bounce At 90+

Yeah...prop-swapping is kinda fun but can be frustrating.....I got to know the guys at the prop shop in Havasu pretty good a few summers back....tried 4-6 combos and finally went back to the original prop!!! Just got damn tired and confused!!!! Ultimately, it was not worth the $1K to play around to get 2 MPH and a razor sharp labbed prop (kids cut feet on it!)

Bob did testing with mine and ran a 30P labbed Maximus with zero porpoise. You may want to look at Hydromotive. I am very impressed with their props, customer service and exchange program. They do not have a long diffuser ring on their props. A stock 5 blade from them had better performace than a labbed Merc 5 blade Maximus and they are cheaper too. The P5-X is what I am testing now and it is a bow lifting prop. I am getting better performance with less trim.

Ok Props Aside, Is There Any Engine Upgrade To Fill That Gap Between 95mph To 104mph
TEAUGE GUYS ???

You could upgrade to the 1200HP quad rotor:devil:

Back To Props, I Had My 32 Balanced (not Labed) And Took It To Lake Elsinore, Water Flat As Can Be And Ran 106mph

YES,NEXT YEAR. I'M PUTTING THE 800 IN A 20' OR 22'

Do a pulley swap to increase some boost. Just remember it will put more strain on both motor and drive. JMO

Interesting!
I am curious why no response from Teague Custom Marine has not been posted. I believe Christmas is right around the corner--- it would be appropriate and courteous to indicate the following performance items are available and in stock.
I may be wrong though:idea:.
Regretfully,

Bob got me a few MPH out of my old F-29 w/900efi by switching to a Lab 5 blade Maximus 32p....

So what's the word Matt? Pully change and motor goes boom. Hope it's not too bad and she's up and running in no time.

I Am Also Looking For A Octane Test Kit For At The Pump If Anyone Knows Of These Let Me Know.

[Matt in the CAT]

I Just Read That Az Has No Testing In Place For The Octane Levels In There Fuels.
Fyi Ca Does.
