Default Not sure but

I have two alphas in my boat and I think I would rather have the Volvo's,, all in all my experience with the volvo's has been better than with the Merc's,, but thats just me.

If I was going to go thru all the trouble to switch over I would go to a Bravo at least.

SX is far superior to alpha, at least go bravo if you have to swap to merc.
