Re: alpha one clones how are they

While I don't have personal Experince with the SEI drives,.....

I spend enough time on the boards,+ I've been reading Alot of Good comments about them,+ Little or No Bad comments......

Sometime in the near future,...... I'm giving 1 a Try......

I'm nowhere near as experienced as Bond-O however,
I have heard that the SEI drives are as good. I think they give you a nice warranty too.
Be cautious with E-bay sellers, Maybe try SEI's website.

thanks guys i got a lot of time and money tied up in the boat and my drive was off the boat when i got the boat . they said it was a rebuilt one. i dont think so i am going to have it tested . if it's the right ratio and is good i will use it. i live in pa. and if its bad this guy's kill you here for a used one. i used to live in wpb fla. everything you buy on boat used or new is nice and fair. they have more shops. more dealers..trailers are alot lower in price their also.
