I will do a compression test before purchase, but it will be difficult to do a leakdown as it is sitting on a lift miles away from a good source of compressed air.
I have looked up the specs on the new Teague 825 and it says 509CI with a 3.3L whipple. Would this be accurate for these older 800's? What about the drives, are they plenty good enough for the 800's? Thanks

Give us a call! We would like to know which motors they are and/or any info we possibly have on them!

Yeah I just looked at it, it does have the newer whipple blowers. It does, however, have the pressurized oiling system running to the blowers, then draining back to the pan. TCM has converted these to a self oiling system because there was plastic shrapnel coming from the blowers then going and clogging up the oil pump and causing failures. They have an easy conversion for that, its just a couple of plugs.

Those 40s are pretty heavy boats, even with 800s I'm not sure its going to do much over 90. The one they did with TCM 1000/#6s ran 110. Not sure if that is enough to cure your desire to go faster lol.
