I just have a 496ho and would love to go up a few hundred hp. Do the guys that have the 1400-1500 hp Sterlings sit around and try to figure out how to get more out of them.

yes. As much HP as will make your boat run as fast as you want to go. Of course as you go faster, you feel more comfprtable at those speeds, so then you want to go faster again. Id be happy with something that didnt have to sit in the shop for months at a time trying to figure out whats wrong with it, of course I should just find an engine builder/company with good customer service and a reliable package.
