Default Quad Seven Marine Midnight Express broken

Saw this pic posted on a 4x4 forum I belong to. Earlier today I saw the short clip of it running. Was that the same drive where it broke? Didn't seem too rough out there. Must take some serious power and harsh condition to snap not one but 2 prop shafts.




and the video

They built an old style 39 with quad 275s 10 years ago that kept breaking both outside motors......owner was a yacht guy, not running boat hard at all and they still broke

Is that the one that the owner killed a guy within an hour of owning?

The outside lowers are probably surfacing way to much and breaking gears or shafts.

Those engines need some a switch for some straight pipes action.
