I want to convert to Mercury Power
Eventually. Just had my Sterlings rebuilt and will run them at least this year and probably one more. However, when it comes time for them to be rebuilt again, I would like to sell them and convert to 850s or 1075s.
It seems that there are very few "sets" for sale. I've seen a few single engines for sale from $40-75,000 each.
I would be interested in hearing comments on 850s vs 1075s. I plan on getting the Mercury Smart Craft to integrate with my Garmin.
I've researched 700s. The consensus was that they would be a bit underpowered and I would be running too high rpms to do what I want to do.
I would buy a set that is run out and just hold them until my Sterlings are done if anyone knows of someone looking to unload a pair.
I can't afford 1100s so don't even bring it up.
