    I have no problem with the age of the machines at Glenwood. The shaft that was in my boat was a K Monel shaft from Glenwod and was in it for 5 years when I bought it. I reversed the rotation of the shaft by driving the boat off the flywheel{previous owner off the snout). I ran it for 3 hears like that, then reversed it back to off the snout, and ran it another 3 years before I decided I was pushing my luck and replaced it with a K Monel from Glenwod, and I STILL use the old shaft in the enduro (5 to date). I say its doing pretty well compared to some shafts I have seen.

    The K Monel shaft Glenwood cut for Rudy's Allison boat won two Salton Sea 500, the Lake Berryessa 6 hr, and ran a couple Parker 9 hrs, transmitting 1500 lbs of torque the entire time, moving a whaling ship 85-90 AVERAGE, and the shaft is still in the boat to this day.
