I need a Gen 2 Alpha drive for my Rinker 280. Based on the researh i've done to date, these aftermarket replacement stern drives seem solid. Anyone have feedback otherwise?

I've been told that one of the guy's that worked for merc started his own company after merc more or less told him to go pound sand with his ideas.
