One downer, though. Yesterday, we had it out and lost a propshaft (and the prop) going about 75. Boat handled just fine and we came to a gentle stop. We just ordered a new one and I should be running when I get back from JazzFest on Sunday.

Man loosing a prop shaft with a prop is not very fun or cheap. Did the boat come out of the water?? I am running small prop shafts on my 300's and always fear that same thing.

Got a little curve out of it, and sat her down nice and quiet. That was 75. I think 85 would have been a different story.

How would you know? You don't have a boat -- just some used parts in your dining room!

Just kidding. You got your boat together yet?
