biggest differance is the bravo's, I'm sure you know that bravo is a better drive then an alpha, on the other hand the 87 probally has 350's and alpha's and the 350's have alot more room in the engine compartment for maintence

Buy the '89 and put small blocks in it.
The BBC boats usually got the zero effort controls and k-planes with indicators. Nice to have if everything else is otherwise equal.
