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.
