In ran a globe on one engine and a stock impeller on the other. Stock out lasted the Globe by more than a year. BTW, I never run them dry.

Globes will run dry longer without killing it.

If you never run dry, then Globe won't show much additional life.

I have more of a sand problem than anything. The globe after one full summer season had quite a bit of grooving at the contact point of the vanes. The Merc did not. They both were on new bodies. For my use, the merc is better is my opinion. I usually go 2-3 years on the impellers and change them well before they fail.
