As a boat mechanic I wouldn't feel bad about pitting around 330 hp through a gen 2 alpha. The gen 1s and the pre alpha drives are a lot weaker. The easiest way to tell them apart is the gen 2s will have c clips on the tilt ram bars instead of nuts. Hell of a build man! Congrats!! Should be A great boat for you and your family.
awesome build. I had almost the exact same boat and would still have it if I was as handy as yourself. mine was an 89 party barge with 91 90hp Johnson (that I later found out was probably only putting out about 50hp). if I would have had a good shop to work on it during the winter months I would have put in new floor, carpet, and seating. settled for a new bimini, cover, stereo, and decals. oil and water pumps went out of the motor and it was going to cost more to fix than I paid for the boat. sold it as is to a small resort looking for a rental and picked up a 24' deck boat of CL. would have much rather had your end result. the buds and I had way more fun on the old raft than I have on my newer looks like everyone else boat.
