We currently produce normally aspirated propulsion systems from
350 to 425 horsepower.
Currently there are seven converted Seabees flying and four more under conversion. We have installed one V-8 in a Murphy Super Rebel. Together they have accumulated approximately 2000 hrs. The highest time V-8 Seabee is my own airplane CF-ILM. It has accumulated 1200 hours. The longest trip has been from Balsam Lake to Key West Florida and return. We use whatever fuel is available, automotive or aviation. The aircraft continues to perform flawlessly. We have flown the aircraft from sea to level to 10,000 ft., and in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 113°F.
From a pilot's perspective, the performance and range improvement is rather spectacular. From a passenger's perspective, the heating and air-conditioning systems are welcome additions. From an owner's perspective, the 50% reduction in operating costs is significant.
