Re: Old 250 Nova Drive ??? will it fit??
Hey bud I'm in Livonia !!! The web site is:
http://www.sterndrive.cc/home.htm
They sell Alpha 1 Gen I and Gen II. I'm sure China made, but OEM MErCruiser was Mexico to begin with. I have not used them, but have not heard anything bad yet. Uppers or lowers $600 each completely new with 1 year unconditional warranty.
Not sure when Gen II started, but they sell them also. They are called SEI and all parts supposedly interchange with Merc parts and tools. I'd try them if needed.
Does your boat have twins?

I think the old drive off of the 250 Nova is called a I(one)-drive not alpha, it was older. The gear ratio would be different on a 4.3 or smaller engine.
Plenty of rebuilt or replacements for your Alpha out there.

Just to mix it up a bit! I just got done putting a gen 2 alpha on a gen 1 gimble. Had to block off the drive lube hole-extend the shift fork, (local welder did this for 40.00) And grind down the inside of the gimble ring fingers that guide the drive. And It's working great. All this on a 84 searay seville.

"old 250 Nova" isn't a very descriptive term.
What year Nova and what power? That will help us determine what is likely hanging off the boat.
And has been mentioned already, ALL "Alpha style" drives (including the Type I) will more or less bolt up to the same gimbal with inexpensive mods (clearancing, custom gaskets, shifter extensions, swapping out input yokes, etc.)
