FWIW, just got done with a little test drive, the new snub is awesome. far less slack in the drive train, much smoother delivery of power when getting on and off the gas, great mod overall, especially for the money. ($29.99 for the stern piece)

That's a great price for a urethane bushing. Where'd you buy it? I'm due for timing myself, and if I can get one at that price, I'm all about it. I replaced my OEM snub with another OEM part last year but to go to urethane for $30 is worth it.
