I'm almost positive it never saw 120. It was converted to a #6 boat from a factory bravo boat and the X was not right. Did not handle well or reach it's peak performance. GREAT boat for a project like this.

That boat was originally rigged with Weissman Drives from Nor-tech but because of the swimstep they could not mount the drives high enuff for them to perform properly. then the boat ran aground on Lake Havazu and we converted the boat to Number VI drives and the boat toped out just over 125 in Long Beach Harbor with the owner on board.

I was told the same thing, X dimension was off with the 6 drives, could never get the full potential out of the Teague 850's speed wise. Think I saw it a while back at one of TNT's docks. A couple of guys were trying to get one of the motors running. Anyway, cool to see the conversion. Would be awesome to see photos of the project. Or maybe some more photo's of it completed. Glad to read that it's running and handling well. I'd like to see some more of their 36's with egg beaters. Seems to be the trend.
