How many hours before you have to rebuild 850's? Anyone on the board with these engines? How much difference between 700's and 850's and is it worth the cost? I am looking at a used boat, so I'm not buying new.

I hope you are looking at the 39 w 850s at PBB.
I checked it out the other day. VERY Sweet.
Did not see what kind of hours on it tho.

40hrs, and I just don't know anything about those motors. Do they need rebuilds as often as the 1075's? Sweet boat though, I don't know why it hasn't sold but I'm thinking because of the 850's.

Also, on the same lines, what is the approximate cost on the rebuilds?

I was also told once that the 850s could easily be upgraded when they are rebuilt. is that also true?

I send you a e-mail we are doing a set currently. Give me a call.

I know nothing about the motors either.
I was not to fond of the Blue in the pics till I saw it in person. The pics do NOT do it justice.

It's a sharp boat

I know the boat. It was sold new by Ocean Performance and serviced there as well. The owner traded it into Hideaway for a new Outerlimits back in 2007 I believe. The only problem is that the 850 boats arnt really that much faster than the 700 boats at all. They ran a best of like 112. Ocean sold two of them. I would much rather run a juiced up 700 boat. The 850's are a nice motor but are on a slightly longer rebuild schedule as the 1075's and as any Mercury motor can be juiced up. I did see a set in a 42 Outerlimits go 200+ hours on a set before a re-fresh but they were babied.
