V drive or Direct drive

     I have a '91 natiquic excel  with only 280 hrs.  It just started to misfire and the engine went to 2500rpm.  I am assuming that the coil module has gone bad.  I understand that the part has been faulty from the begining and there is no replacement and a conversion kit must be purchased.  Is this a step backwards in performance or is the conversion as good as the Protec?

My second question is concerning the drive of my boat.  I bought my boat from the showroom floor and has always been under the impression that it was a 'V' drive.  The Model of the boat is; PRO WR R10T.  The WR refers to a Borg Werner Trans with a reverseor reduction gear. A WVR would refer to the V' drive.  The 10 refers to a direct 

drive with a 1-1 gear ratio.

Can you clear this up for me.

	WoodyZ - A V drive has the engine in the back. A direct drive has it in the middle of the boat. Hope this clears it up.

	If your boat is an Excel it is a V-Drive, engine at the rear facing rearward with transmission forward. A direct drive the engine is in the center of the boat facing forward with the transmission behind/aft. The boat ran better after the Pro-Tec Conversion then it did from brand new when we did it on our 93', no worries.

	Did you do the conversion yourself or did you have a dealer do it? Woody
