Hi
We bought a second hand rutland 913 a few months ago. Cost us £400 and came with the rws regulator. I should imagine you will need to factor in the cost of installation as well as a 2.7 metre stainless pole,2x 22mm supporting struts, cable and fittings(as well as possibly strenghening your transom, depending on how its fitted cost us another £260. However, the unit itself is awsome, we are liveaboards and run our engine about once every week and a half to top up the battery, the rutland does the rest.
As for the noise The rutland generates a characteristic hum, which is not unpleasant and is hardly noticable unless your listening out for it. The people at Marlec are also very friendly and helpful, even though I bought the unit 2nd hand.
My only complaint about it is that is does create a bit of interference with the HF reception when receiving weatherfax. Perhaps by cleaning up the brushes and slip rings with a bit of emery paper I may cure this, otherwise I will have to live with it.
If I had to buy another, i'd definately go for the Rutland.
