Since I finally hung the engine (O-360-A1D), it's time to look for a starter... so I'm perusing the forums and reading the pros and cons of both SkyTec and B&C, but haven't heard of anyone using a starter from Air-Tec, the exp A/C and airboat outfit in Florida. It looks fairly promising, some older reports on the Matronics boards are mostly favorable. Has anyone bought or installed an Air-Tec lately? Any opinions? From what I can find about them, they're wound field, 9 lbs and only 250 bucks.

Other options;
B&C lightweight, $550. Ouch, no thanks.
Sky-Tec HT, $419 from ACS, wound field, 8.4 lbs. The HT or Flyweight at $365 are at the top of my list so far...
Magnaflite MZ-6222, $389 from ACS after a $200 core charge. Lightweight but still has that honking big Bendix housing on the front. Plus, I wouldn't be able to sell the old boat anchor starter on ebay, or keep it around as a spare...
What'cha think?
