Opinions on Saildrive v Shaft
      29/06/2008 21:46

Looking to buy my fist yacht and have found a boat which ticks all the boxes except it is fitted with a saildrive as opposed to a straight shaft, my worry is after spending many years on motor boats I have come to know how expensive sterndrive units and outboard legs can be, iam concerned that saildrives could suffer the same problems. If anyone could advise what the cost would be to replace that would also be usefull to know.
