Are you going to have the port shaft inspected, to find out if the crack was a result of fatigue or tampering, poor heat treating??
or other defect?

Inspection
 
Yes- we are going to have both shafts analyzed so we can find out definitively what happened.

We saw the boat at Skater on Friday, and watched it race on Sunday. It looked good, but carried the nose a bit low.

And then this happened.........

I do like the fact that JBS has opted to spin the propellers in the correct direction (Out)......... :D
