In The Lead with Bob Teague of Teague Custom Marine
Few figures in the high-performance powerboating world are as immediately recognizable as Bob Teague. The founder of Teague Custom Marine in Southern California, Teague has dedicated his life to his passion for being on the water for five decades. From running his thriving parts design and fabrication, engine-building and full-service business to earning offshore racing world championships and developing the often imitated but never duplicated Powerboat magazine testing program, Teague has done it all.
Far from the “dumb boat mechanic” label he applies to himself, Teague is a U.S. Army veteran and retired Los Angeles Fire Department Captain who never fails to step up for charity and his fellow boaters. But his family is his greatest passion, followed by the family business he created-one he expects to live on for generations.
Want to know how he’s continued to stay ahead of the pack? Watch “In The Lead with Bob Teague,” episode No. 6 of the second-year video series presented by Mercury Racing.

Brilliant hard working guy. Seen him having fun and loving life in Key West during The Worlds. Fun guy. Go Bob.
Best engines in the boat industry imo.
I just bought a part from him for my Fountain ,Thank you for your service Bob your the best!!
When he nonchalantly said he was long range infantry. He was LRRP long range recon patrol. That was by far the most dangerous job a young man could have.🫡🇺🇸
Bob is a national treasure, amazing person.
Great video of “The Man, The Myth, The Legend”🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
I cant say enough about this fine production by SOTW-ITL and this amazing true life story, sacrifice, super success and great stewardship of Bob Teague ! ... I've been running a pair of APBA spec built Teague 1100's detuned to 825's out of the 1999 Citgo Race Boat ( in my '98 42' Fountain ) that have been refreshed only once that I know of and are running just great still to this very day !! Thank You Bob for you service to our country so that I may live free to Powerboat in the USA ! ... and most of all ---> GOD Bless
