S. I. ur new boat is seriously so sweet. How do you like the V-drive versus ur DD? I have a few buddies with em and they love them, and honestly, so do I, but all in time, its the natural progression I suppose.

DGREEN, To me one of the best parts is how open it feels. Kids love having the room and getting to the rope on the tower passing boards around etc is all alot easier. You get used to either way but having inboards for 9 years then switching to a v drive is really comfy. I really havnt noticed handleing being much different than my inboard. Actually this boat is much easier to manuever but it is two foot shorter than the saltare and lower sides. I will never go back to a inboard unless I can afford two boats.

I'm confused... I thought direct drives and v-drives were both considered "inboards"?

[saltare inverts]

They are but a v-drive is not as nimble as a direct drive. Motor in center of boat makes it better balanced for turns and tracking vs weight in the rear making more swing weight etc.

So are the v-drive more of a PITA like I/O's in the shallows? Not friendly for shallow water starts?
