best power package besides Merc?
I want opinions on the best power package that is'nt 50 hour power...I am assuming under 800hp I can get about 200 hours. Give me some solid info and prices if you can. Drives will be SSM VI's on a 39' boat.
A few power plants that I have had considered so far:
Teague, Chief, Sterling, and MRD.
I need hard core info about bugs or problems that any of these builders are typically known for...Thanks

Sterling built some big non-supercharged EFI motors for a boat called "On The Prowl", with the intent of getting several hundred hours between rebuilds. Call Sterling and talk to Mike D'Annaballe.

I wanted to originally go with bravos and maybe some Teague power. Now I figure in the long run it will be better to go with VI's if I can find a good package that fits my needs and wallet

If I was going to go with a custom motor builder, I would try to find a reputable one close to where the boat will be. DMAN has Pfaff motors in his boat and seems to be pretty happy with them.
