The last inboard boat I've owned was 30 years ago. It was a 30 foot wooden Pembroke with a 318 Crysler engine. It had a straight shaft from the back of the engine. Now they have V-Drives. Can I get some comments, and experiences that boaters have had on these V-Drive systems. I am thinking of buying a 1989, 32 foot, Wellcraft, St. Tropaz. It has twin 283 Mercruser engines with the V-drive system. How will these drives hold up if I hit an underwater obstruction, (damage control) and is there any more preventative maintainence that you have to do on these drives? Thanks
