And I agree....never heard much good about the Verado

Prop shaft snapped in half. They said it was just a freak thing that it is not common. Supposedly the generation 2 verado's like the one I have are much stronger. They had to replace my entire lower unit but they are replacing it with the new heavy duty Verado Pro lower unit. My engine only has 35 hours on it.

I am going to keep the boat for the rest of the year and see how I feel in January. If that 300 SHO is out I may see about trading mine in. It would be smart to keep it another year. That being said if it happens again my wife will make me get a new one.

Speaking of junk do not get me started on a Talon anchor system that is another long story.
