Default Re: 1977 20' Seacraft I/O for Sale- $3k

Guys I hate to burst the Alpha bubble but.....I am currently running about a 400hp 454 through a 1.32 alpha drive. Boat is about 5k wet and runs 63+. The drive has NEVER blown since 1987 when it first got wet. I went through it 2 years ago and replaced a couple bearings for S&G's but she was still tight. Merc warrantied them to 330hp but the Bravo one worked out better for merc & warranty repairs(people do drive like idiots you know). If you do not nail it from a dead start and are off when you land from catching air, she should hold forever. The driver for Team Baja has 450hp on one and says....no problem.
