I've got an '85 230MR in a Sea Ray (a couple months old to me) and have been replacing/fixing various problems throughout the summer. While ordering parts, I noticed some parts will fit both, while others won't. My question...when were the Alpha's first produced? So that means my 230MR is a pre-Alpha? Simple questions, but I've yet to find the answer.

85 was the MR, in 86, the Alpha I drive started.
