Don't sure how many V drives went down with shaft and box problems this year. It has been a problem in past years. I think 5 or 6 went out one year all with v drive problems. One year it was like 4-5 with ignitions. Last year it was a pretty even split between prop shaft/v drives, and valve train problems. Maybe a couple more shaft/box problems, but valve train for some reason was a gremlin last year.
The E 12 is a "Bunky" boat.
