Default Outdrive identification

I have the pretty crappy picture, it is a 1986 Century Mirage 25 with a single 454, is this an Alpha or Bravo drive?



The boat is a project (cracked block) and a few hours away from me. The current owner is selling it for a deceased family member and knows nothing about it.

It's a Gen 1 Alpha. Typically, 1.32:1 ratio when mounted to a 454

Make sure you get all the paperwork including a copy of the will executive papers (or the one with power of attorney to sign for the deceased).

25ft'r with a BBC and alpha. I hope you know what a Sunday drive in the park looks like, cause if you want to get a season out of that drive, that's how you're going to be driving...
