sorry for late reply
Thanks for replys.
Couplers are in A1 condition,
just have bad gimbal housings on Alpha ones,and a good deal on the Bravos.
Replaced the stock 260 Mercs with 383 strokers,so think Alphas wont hold,as I read overhere.

Well, that's 2 years you have had to save your money, because you will need it at some point, alpha's just don't do well with high HP and Torque. but keep up what your doing, it seems to be working.

The other big difference here is weight. You have a relatively light boat compared to the OP. When you add more HP, more torque - and a heavy hull - an Alpha won't last very long.

If you are asking what you will need. Here is the list.
Bravo Coupler
Bravo Bell Housing
Bravo inner transom plate
Bravo Gimble
Bravo Trim Rams
Bravo Drive
I just did the alpha to bravo conversion on my 242 formula and nothing but the trim pump on the alpha will work. Unless you have time to find deals expect to spend at least $2000-2500 for everything.
