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.

First of all, thank you for your services to our country Bob. One of the most well respected person in our boating industry. Thank you for all you do and for building the best motors. Great video and well deserved!
Wow just came across this video and boy does it bring back memories. If I wrote a book about my 14 years as art director at Powerboat Magazine Bob and Norm would be included in every chapter. Bob is a perfectionist and he’ll tell you so, he was very intimidating to work with at first, but once you get to know him he’s a gentle soul who would go above and beyond. I definitely miss his “words of wisdom” and comments about boars that just didn’t meet his standards during the Powerboat performance trials, but he was always right, he’s a legend and deservedly so.
Still cool to watch this and see family.
Thank you for your service bob
I just bought a part from him for my Fountain ,Thank you for your service Bob your the best!!
Best engines in the boat industry imo.
Bob is a national treasure, amazing person.
I doubt I would have my Allison GSE if it wasn't for Bob & Powerboat, thank you for all you do & have done for us. Semper fi good Guy. S.E, Asia War Games '67-'68 Second place. Don't blame us we did what we were told.
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

Thank you!
Great video of “The Man, The Myth, The Legend”🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
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.🫡🇺🇸
Thank you for your service BROTHER..... CWV also. Fantastic Life history. Great product. Keep on motoring.
Brilliant hard working guy. Seen him having fun and loving life in Key West during The Worlds. Fun guy. Go Bob.
Awesome man, awesome story! Only in the land of the free, salute!
