    Thanks guys. I'm sick about it, and if it doesn't sell, she'll get a new motor one day!

    The Awlgrip code is Claret. And yes, it's a deeper red, especially in shadows. I love the boat.

    I've always loved the red seats!!! Red tuck and roll is just so classic hotrod! I can't imagine how hot it would get. The medium gray vinyl on my engine deck/cover gets SO hot!

    Jamie,

    Are you the guy on FB with the blue Z21 you're restoring? That's interesting and probably the closest real world comparison to my boat. Maybe I'll try your setup and see. I'd like to run...

    LOL The black art of propology. Oh boy. Well I think I'd like to look into something different just to try. Should I sat stainless or can I run aluminum? I wouldn't call my boat a big power boat...

    Last year it ran the same with the same power and drive. I'm going to double check the prop pitch. I would also think that motor should turn 4600 and maybe even top out at 5000 super trimmed. What...

    I've done it 2 ways and the jury is out on which way I like better. The key is to create a peak or ridge so water can't belly, and so snow slides off. I bought saw horse hinges at Home Depot and...

    Right, and there's the hard part. Logos, labels, and even exactly cut holes are what made me go the route of lasering. The only issue there is that it's not a water jet, so cutting metals is out. I...

    Ah ok. So the internals of the Alpha can handle the power of a standard 350 merc? There's no V8 specific output shaft or different splines?

    Cool! Glad to hear it. That means I have a spare...

    Despite the generational, rotational, and ratio differences, are all Alpha One the same as far as load bearing capacity? I have a Gen 2 Alpha One on my 87' ZB21 with a 5.7 V8, but also a gen 2 Alpha...
