looking at boat that i can get the sterlings or the cobras. concerned about reliability. how many hours can i expect under normal conditions with these two. also what about resell which would be better?

my opinion....

sterlings are the best by far.

If reliabilty and hours between rebuild is the issue. then the Sterlings would be my pick. But you need to look at cost and HP the Cobras are almost 50$ more HP !!

Wiggler from a resale standpoint you have alot more
people looking for power in the 6-800HP range than you do in the 1200hp range. Thats very exclusive territory.

I would go with some 1200 Sterlings! You really have to look at your performance expectations to make a decision between 825 and 1200 HP.
