    there are a couple of comparison articles out there comparing a v drive 342 to a bravo 3. Bravo 3 handled better and had 30% ish better economy overall. I'd still take the v drive though for our Lake Erie chop.

    Looks great!  Has the dreaded carpeted cabin though. I reached out to see it but haven't heard back.  Great find Skennelly!

    The leess moving parts, the less chance of something going wrong, v-drive has less moving parts then outdrives, and full inboards have less than v-drive. You lose low speed handling and top end performance along with some fuel milage, but more dependable. Could last the life of the boat with only fluid changes. In my opinion of course. What about pods? I have no experience with those.

    @rinker270nb - I checkout Craig's list from time to time to see what's out there.  If you happen to purchase it I want a ride...LOL
