My friend has 3 of those Teagues on his boat with 600's. He blew two of them last year, one from a piece of drift wood, the 2nd for no reason and the third had to be rebuilt this winter..... :(

There are no Warrantee's here . Just good and bad gambles
And how much you want to put up ! yes Rik $46,000 plus
Labor can buy better odds to gamble with . Most of us in the horse power range of this thread would like a good gamble
for less then that though ! That's why it is allways back to the drawing boards for us bravo players .

MY $.02

GOOD GAMBLING EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the flip side I've had the Bravoshop do warranty work for me this year and they didn't even blink an eye... All they said was ship it down and we'll turn it around... I told them not to rush it because my season was over (mistake on my part) and it took a bit longer than I hoped for but in the end they took care of it, "and then some".. :cool-smiley-011:

PS, There's a guy in our area that has a 32' Skater with Arnesons and he keeps blowing them up. I believe Arneson has worked with him every step of the way but he's broken them quite a bit and had some downtime. I believe something in the tie-bar setup kept ripping off or something like that.... :(

I've heard of people blowing stuff up, no matter what drive system they have; Imco, Max Machine, BMax, Teague, Arneson, Konrad et al.

That is Kenny Paddock and he cracked a tie bar mount. Far from blowing up.

Changed the mount and he is good.

That was 2 years after he purchased them so customer service is what is imporntant.

Cracked, blown etc...everything breaks, that's boating... I broke a $25 coupler and they all say I blew up... BTW, I did say the tiebar broke and did say you worked with him...... ;)

I was under the impression it broke more than once and a new one was being made out of Bronze/brass????? Why would it break, he only runs the boat in the bay.

Maybe the info he gave was incorrect? We all have our fair share of problems. :(
