alpha is aplha,,,they did make an SS version a little stronger but i don't think u can find one.

I would fix what u have and first get used to all that ...then step up in a year or 2 to a bigger faster boat.
U will never get out what u put in !!!!!

So think about it and just have fun for now with what u have !!!

Repair for the alpha should be around 1K !!! with all u need .
Call Greg Colabella he can hook u up and may have something sitting there as well.

Hey Slick, where are you located? I have 4 Bravo 1 set ups sitting on the floor now. Complete with HP transom assy's all they lack is the steering ram. 1 set has zero hours on the uppers. Other set has maybe 100 hrs. All gimbles are in great shape. The $4000. is the number for one complete setup plus shipping unless you can come to Philly and get it.
