Dear Mike,
Once again I wanted to thank you for building the most incredible set of motors for my 48’ MTI.  To date I have approximately 70 hours of trouble-free boating while running hard at very high speeds.

Your service and quality is awesome.  I could not ask for better service or a better product anywhere in the world.

Thanks again.  I appreciate all your time and effort and really appreciate you and Jeff coming down to Florida to take the time and get my motors dialed in on the water.  Sterling Performance has been a big part of making my boating experience awesome.

Ed Rieskamp purchased 2009 47 Ft Fountain Lighting and specified staggered Sterling 1200HP EFI Motors. “I am very pleased with the performance of these motors and the personal touch from Mike D’Anniballe. We experienced a few minor problems with these engines but Mike D’Anniballe’s response to correct these problems was excellent. I
strongly recommend Sterling Motors and intend to purchase Sterling Motors for any future boat I might purchase.”

“Dear Mike, On behalf of the entire Bacardi Silver Offshore Race Team, I would like to ask that you express our appreciation to everyone at ‘Sterling’ for the dedication and effort they put into our engines. For over ten years now I have used your products to consistently set new speed records. This year’s Shootout was no exception with our 187 mph blast. Not bad for a piston powered – 10,000+lbs offshore boat. Thanks again Mike!”

“Thank you for your continued loyalty, support, and dedication. It is JE Pistons’ honor to present you with the ‘Top Fifty Customer’ award for 2004 – Sterling Performance.”

McMachen Marine Lake St. Clair Offshore Challenge, June 27-29, 2003 – Presented to Sterling Performance, “In appreciation for your support and dedication to MOPRA / LSCORA and Offshore Racing on Lake St. Clair, Michigan.

Mike Fiore of Outerlimits chose standard Sterling 1450 hp fuel injected engines for his record setting run in 2003, getting his 47’ GTX “Triple-X” over 161.29 mph. Mike says “the engines were perfect, they never let us down.” Mike says those same engines “ran at 11 poker runs in Triple-X as well – with no issues.”

When your hobby is High Performance boating, safety and reliability are paramount. Equipment failure can not only ruin your boating experience, it can be dangerous. This is no place to rely on second rate equipment.

I’ve owned numerous Skaters over the last decade. After experiencing disappointments with other engine builders, I have been relying on Sterling Performance to power my boats. For the last 5 years Mike and the team at Sterling have put together the most reliable and efficient engine packages I have ever had. They not only produce “true stated horsepower”, I have had hundreds of hours of continuous and reliable operation without interruption.

You don’t own a Skater to putt-around the harbor. I challenge my equipment every time I launch my boat. Running with the lead pack at a poker run or hitting it hard on the open water, I have never had any downtime with my Sterling engines. Those minor issues which have arisen have been solved quickly and courteously by the Sterling staff.

Sometimes cheaper is far more expensive. I’ve learned the hard way that that applies to high performance engines. As long as I continue to blast across the water, my boats will be powered by Sterling’s.”

“… our success comes from a lot of factors, but we could not be were we are without Mike D’Anniballe and Sterling.”
John Tomlinson (Throttleman for Bacardi Silver) quoted in Extreme Boats Magazine, Volume 2, Issue #4, p.51
