It's not clear from the archive information on the Sea Ray site... it appears the the B2 only came with the bigger diesels. Are you sure they are Bravo? Alphas are popular with twin 5.7's also.

My '89 300DA with 5.7s has Alpha I gen I outdrives. Unless somebody did a swap to Bravos, it most likely came from the factory with Alpha I Gen I ODs. Post a pic of your drives if you could.

Its my understanding that the factory outdrive in '89 for 5.7s was the Alpha. So if you are sure you have Bravo drives, then somebody did an aftermarket upgrade at some point.

Look like Bravo 1's - same drives on the pachanga I previously owned and our race boat which ran RH and LH props.

Also to support: The bravo 1's have the trailing edges above and below the prop running at angles while the bravo 2 has that same trailing edges running vertical.
Your pictures appear to be at angles.
