"Hey all,
I am looking at buying an 86 Searay Seville with a MC 170 and I believe an Alpha One drive. Can anybody weigh in on what they think of this engine and drive? It has less than 1000 hours and from what I can tell it has been taken care of such as professional winterizing and tune ups every year. It has a closed cooling system and has been used in saltwater. BTW the guy just had a new carb installed. The boat seemd to run pretty smooth and quiet. What other MC engines could be bolted in place of the 170 if this one blows up on me? I will have it taken to the mechanic that does the work on it for a diagnostics just to make me feel better."
