I assume a new mount would need <br />to be used, but other than that, it seems like it would work well. It looks like it would weigh <br />~15 lbs more than the 914. The 80 HP VW seems like it could power it also. Looks like this <br />would be ~10 lbs less than the 912. I know Sonex is working on a turbo version of their <br />Aerovee 2180 VW, which will be around 100 HP. Don't know the weight for this yet.<br /><br />As far as costs go, the VW is $10,000 cheaper than the Rotax 912, and the Jabiru 3300 is <br />$13,000 cheaper than the 914. <br /><br />Are there any other engines that have been successfully used on the Searey?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Dan          Kenneth Leonard - Mar 08,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Dan - unfortunately, we don't do technical discussions on the splash-n-dash site. We limit them to the owners only site. (because a competitor used a discussion years ago to bad-mouth the plane) Which of course, doesn't help folks who are considering buying the plane. Many folks here are happy to talk with you back-channel about the plane and some of the engines that have been used and some engines that are currently being tested.<br />I have no financial connection with the company (other than sending them money for parts!) and would be happy to chat off-line.

But <br />at any rate, I'd welcome feedback via email, thank you Ken. I believe my email address is <br />accessible by clicking on my username?<br /><br />Dan          Don Maxwell - Mar 08,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Napalm? Does it work?          Charles Pickett - Mar 09,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Don <br />It might I will make some up          Ken Ellis - Mar 10,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Bye the Bye.. speaking to technical vs. non-technical forums. Can a non owner/builder be <br />invited to read S&amp;D?. If so i would like to know the procedure and propose a pilot who's <br />interested in 'the SeaRey Magic'.<br />Let me know via e-mail &amp; I will supply his name &amp; contact info.          Kenneth Leonard - Mar 10,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Ken - I believe anyone with access to this site can invite anyone to this site. You can do it yourself. Go to 'utilities', 'add members'.<br /><br />It's not the same with the technical site.          Dan Nickens - Mar 10,2011   Viewers  | Reply     Or, on the home page, click on 'Add Members' just under the cover photo. Anyone member can do it.
