i have a alpha 1 gen 1 on a 22' wellcraft with a 350. While on plane with the drive trimmed all the way down there is a noticeable vibration through the hull. As soon as i trim it up, even just a little, it completely goes away. Ujoints seem good. Engine alignment is not horrible but not perfect either. Gimble bearing feels fine turning it by hand. It has an aluminum 19 pitch prop and there is a small rock mark on one blade.
