The 1025/1200. It's the 1200 with two computers.

The 850 is, minus a few small differences, the 1075. They're not that dramatically different in price.

In fact, if you're considering the 1075, you may want to look at the 1300. If you plan on owning the boat for even a couple seasons, you may find with the increased service intervals on the 1300, the difference in cost may end up being a wash. It's certainly a more refined power package.
 
1075s in my experience of owning them are 100 hour engines 850s are double.

If not going as fast for the limited time you go full speed doesnt concern you, your wallet and your wife might appreciate 850s.:)

+1

the 1300's...since money's not an object
 
1075's all day, everyday and twice on Sunday.

When you feel like you want to have 850's just put little blocks on your throttles so you can only go 80% my guess is these blocks will be in Long Island Sound faster than Rosie O'Donnell munches up Little Debby...

1075's hands down...

As soon as you buy the 850's you'll want the 1075's. You won't want to run race gas for the 1200's and the 1300's take different gauges, not yet available, and may want to wait till they get the bugs worked out.

It remains to be seen, but the maint. intervals on the 1300's seem to be a definite winner, how much wll you actually use it and how much do you actually want to go boating when it's being serviced?
 
250 hours if you hammer it. 300 if you use them moderately. That's vs. 100 on the 1075? Times how much cost?
 
Ozzie you won't own it long enough to worry about rebuilding. I would go with the 1025's to be able to use 89 octane
