Just curious why you don't want Merc? You could be just about anywhere in the world if something went wrong, you could have it covered under warranty. Try that with an independant builder.

I had 650's in the Cafe. Only problem I ever had was with one of the Holley carburetors and I was always pushing the sticks through the dash.
P.S Tommy H. was always very helpful (although I only called him for info.)

Sterling built some big non-supercharged EFI motors for a boat called "On The Prowl", with the intent of getting several hundred hours between rebuilds. Call Sterling and talk to Mike D'Annaballe.

I know that Innovation does hipo rebuilds. But I would do a 39 epoxy with a pair of merc.900s on #6 that should be good a high teen to 120 mph boat if I had the cash.

Innovation is a good suggestion - I've got a pair of their 600's and love them.

Those engines were built by Doug Lewis/Professional Marine in New Jersey...not Sterling....They were dyno'd at Sterling and the resulting engines led to mutual development changes for Doug and Mike D...... The engines put out 1008 hp each....non supercharged. EFI was calibrated by Doug...torque is off the scale too.
I've driven the boat....it idles better than any performance boat I've been in...and goes like hades!
