I own a 2003, 360 Carver Sedan. I bought it with 14 hours on the Hobbs and
since found out that during the 14 hours the boat was ran aground by an
inept operator. (I found this out not by the dealer, of course, but by a
fellow boater who watched the whole grizzly episode.
I have noticed that when I power up to 2200 rpm the boat vibrates
momentarily then smoothes out. I have had the dealer check the problem out
and was told that it was just the underwater mufflers causing the vibration.
Thinking that was a load of BS I made enquires to several marinas about the
problem. They told me it could be a slight bend in the shaft which would
seriously effect the knuckle joint in the V drive. This could be thousands
($13000) to fix should it give out completely!!
Can anyone advise me of any experiences or knowledge of this type occurrence
with the V drive.

Thanks
