part I
my nieghbors boat broke down. dropped our tubers off with thier tubers, tow them back. went back and attached all four tubes. four tubes and six people onboard. with a bit more extra strain on th drive it whips the kids to inches of thier live ( just how they like it ). would anyone know if that is too much. I only did it for little bit out of the notion I might damage my drive.


part II
I always believe more power and stronger make me feel better. can I and what would I upgrade to ever I decide to. I also believe that it you're going to upgrade it's better to sell the old part before it breaks. makes the upgrade much cheaper.

I believe, and I may be wrong that the alpha 1 gen2 drive is rated for up to 300hp. If I understand you correctly you towed a boat back to shore then pulled 4 tubes with 6 people on the tubes. I wouldn't worry about your drive as long as your below the hp rating for the drive. The only thing I would worry about is how much you lugged the engine. Still, I wouldn't worry about it.
