[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 422074, member: 13599"] welcome aboard !! have you investigated the transom for soft spots, leaks, leaking bellows, seals, main bearing noises ? My brother bought a mid-70s Sea Ray with the Alpha One OD and it lasted two days after he bought it....... the bearings burned up for whatever reason, the bellows had a crack under the OD that was not noticible in our inspection. after removing the OD, found the transom wood to be mush . . . I learned a [i]LOT[/i] with "helping" him in that fiasco. That was our only experience with the Alpha One . . . and it was a bad one. [/QUOTE]
