Sterling 1700s Getting Dressed for Final Dyno Testing and Shipping
 
Hoping to see these engines in a boat very soon, as I've been following them on speedonthewater.com since their inception, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...-shipping.html.

From an earlier speedonthewater story (http://speedonthewater.com/archives/...ne-coming.html) on the subject:

"D’Anniballe said he expects the Sterling 1700 to produce 1,400 hp on pump fuel and 1,700-hp on race fuel."

I should have included this again in the most recent story.

I know Sam and talked to him about two weeks ago, He said they should be testing by about now, I saw pics a while ago of them already going in the boat at skater. No offense Matt, but are you behind the times or did something go wrong and the project get delayed? I just dont want to assume.

From the article in post #1 in this thread: much-awaited 1,700-hp turbocharged engines are in their final stages of “dressing” for final dynamometer testing before shipping to Douglas Marine/Skater for installation in a Skater 388 catamaran owned by Sam Smith of Louisiana.

If you will read you might not sound so stupid.

E-Dock's versions will be Red Bull & Goose. You should have came up with that even though you're on the JV squad. :lolhit:

BattleCry 06-30-2011 02:11 AM

How long will these Sterling engines last before they need freshened? 100hrs? 50hrs? 25hrs? 10hrs? Or after each use?

Congrats to Sterling and the new Skater owner if they succeed and knowing Mike I am sure they will!

As for the fuel type I think I have the winning answer:
DOLLAR BILLS-BIG BAD BENJAMINS AND LOTS OF THEM!!!

Best Regards,
