    Teflon or brass

    Is not running a teflon linner worth some speed in a SAW boat,or is it safer to run teflon in the tube? Ive heard you will go faster but its also much more of a mess with no teflon.

        Me too, just note that without the teflon the brass tube is one size smaller than that with teflon. For 0.187" flex I use 1/4" brass tube
