    Im helping a friend put his boat back together. His Alpha one outdrive is totally shot. I have a Pre Alpha unit that is ready to bolt on. Would this be a direct bolt on or aren't they compatible without changing out the gimble housing.

    Picked this up the other day. 18' Glastron with 302 Ford (running) and a Volvo Penta 270 sterndrive. Floor feels solid but transom is starting to rot so will disassemble and replace all rotton wood. Hull is in good shape with the exception of the normal dock rash.
