Shawn,
My 35-1 has about 4 inches of shaft between the strut and the front edge
of the prop. Maybe the 35-2 has a different placement of the strut and
prop than the 35-1, but I would agree whats on that boat seems a bit
longer than desirable. Can't quite tell from the photo but it appears
that if the prop were much more forward from where it is the blade tips
are going to get pretty close to the hull, also not great from a
vibration standpoint. Possibly the strut's been moved forward?
On the other hand, the previous owner used it as it is, so good chance
its acceptable. Are you doing a sea trial before purchase?

It looks like there is at least 12" of shaft beyond the support before
the prop, and bit less between the hull and the support. I recall
reading a survey on a boat I was considering where the surveyor
commented on excessive prop shaft extension as a possible cause of
vibration. As this boat has a VW diesel (not sure of the
transmission), I am wondered if the shaft might be too long.
How does this compare with other 35s?
