Default Convert to Bravo

I'm exploring the possibility of upgrading my boat to Bravo drives from Alpha's. Wondering if my existing Alpha bell housings can be used? is there a difference?
What can I expect to pay for a full Bravo twin setup (used)?
Thanks for the input.

Nothing from the Alphas will work. You will also need to recut the transom.

A quick search answered most of my questions.

What are people asking for twin B1 setups these days?

have not looked at prices lately probably 6 to 10000$ per pair for any thing worth while. but you do not have to recut the transom. you only have to drill 2 extra holes

I think you are both correct. I should have said slightly modify the transom to accomodate the Bravo transom assembly.
