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?

I just noticed what appears to be a fairly long extension of the prop shaft beyond the support on the 35-2 pictured here:

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?
