Santego 310 - V drives
I am going to view a 1995 Santego 310 this weekend and looking for some advice on the v drive versions.
Engines are Crusader 350 EFI with v drive Hurth Transmissions and prop pockets. 700 Hours.
Any advice on what to look for? Are the V drives reliable and any issues i should be concerned with. Thanks

See if you can get service records so you have an idea of how well she was maintained and I can't stress enough the importance of getting a survey done once you think she's the one.
Where's the boat and where would be your home port?
Hope it all works out well and keep us posted.

They are a bit less efficient than non pocketed boats and will have a bit less bite during low speed maneuvers such as docking, but like any boat, you will get used to the handling and operation.
