So much for an inspection! Surveyor said "worn but serviceable," and in less than two weeks time the entire hull's shaking when I ramp up the RPM on the throttle.
Is there any recourse against bad surveyors?
On the more important note I made a video so I could show what I am experiencing with what I am told is the cutlass bearing:

So at the start you hear the gear in neutral. I slowly engage the gear up until at the loudest point you see water squirt out. The shake you see in the video isn't the camera shaking, it's the boat.
Anyone have a good reference for where I could go to buy the cutlass bearing parts for a beneteau first 305 in addition to a workshop manual of some sort that shows what parts lie where? That is if the consensus is that this is the bearing and not something else.
Thanks Again!
