How fast are you going? If you are not going over 80 MPH, save your $$. Alphas are pretty streamlined to begin with.

A counter rotating lower while help with the handling characteristics and take alot of stress off of the gimbles with two right hand drives. When I priced them for my former Formula 272, a remanufactured lower was $1800, new was $2600, and a complete counter rotating drive was $3000. I believe BAM Marine is who I got the prices from.
