Mad, I hate to break it to you but no. I have already seen these drives on Doral cruisers being put out for 2005. There have been numerous complaints already. The drives take much too long to respond dockside. The drives can not take bottoming out like a regular sterndrive can, and the biggest thing, you stilll have the pesky problem of shifting a sterndrive. They shift like a bear from what I have heard. These boats all have the 370 Volvo TAMD's in them, which is a wonderful motor however this drive just doesnt do it. Every person I've talked to has said they would love their vdrives back or straightdrives.
