Trying to find out what outdrive my 1994 Fiesta Vee has? I can only get partial serial numbers, and "Rinker" says they don't have records that far back! Thanks for your help! Larry in kinda frozen Montana

Depending on the model of the boat, they could be alpha drives. I have seen them on the FV280 with twin 4.3's.

My '92 FV260 came with a Bravo 2. Loved it except for the price of the prop (about $500 for aluminum back then). Diameter was somewhere btwn 17.5 and 20 inches.

That isn't a Bravo3 for sure. It looks like an Alpha, but the anodes look like Bravo anodes. @Alswagg would probably be able to tell you for sure.
