I need the flush kit for an Alpha SS. The one pictured above looks like it will work. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I bought this boat from Wette Vette's father. It's an '88 Baja Sunsport 196 with a high-compression 500HP SBC and 150HP nitrous shot. The Alpha SS works because the boat is so light. They ran 82 MPH, 86.5 MPH on 100HP shot of nitrous with a 26P Spinelli prop. I've been trying to enhance it over the winter. It needs more air, so I propped the hatch open 3/4" with rubber stand-offs. That gave me enough clearance to move from an 8X3" FA to a 10X3" FA with some screens removed. I also added a bottle heater and pressure gauge to make sure I'm getting good flow on that nitrous. The boat has sort of a retro look with the metalflake gelcoat and angled lines, so the name Nostalgic seems to fit.

Does anyone know off an Alpha SS drive for sale??? thanks Eric.... [email protected]

Yes it is. My SS drive had low water pickups...I'm assuming Plum Crazy's does too.

Plum crazy, I had an alpha SS, all you have to do is go down to the hardware store and pick yourself up a Y fitting for an outside hose bib, then by some, fittings for the Y that screw onto the ends and have a barb fitting for clear plastic hose that fits the water intakes of the Drive. When you put the hose into the intakes put a little tape over them so that the water pressure does'nt push them out. It will probably cost you about 10.00. Used it for years and it worked like a charm.
