Do your self a favor and buy a Bravo boat - resale will be greater and much more piece of mind over alphas.

Not only that but when you get ready for boating season yearly prep you can do bravo raw pumps in no time compared to dropping the lower unit on an alpha.

I don't know about all that.... have you seen how cramped the engine room is on one of these?! Bravo boats will be big blocks, and you pretty much have to stand on your head to get the raw water pumps out... they're no fun at all!

This^^^^^^^^ Changing water pumps is a total PITA in a BB twin Formula.

I stand corrected.
