I bought an alpha one lower unit from here about 3 months ago and after 30+ hours and counting I could not be more happy. The unit arrived on time and was easy to install. It is a brand new unit for less than I could buy used parts to fix the broken outdrive. After I took it out a couple of weekends someone from sterndrive.cc called me to make sure everything was working ok. Now that is what I call customer service! :D
