i've heard good things about the aftermarket ones sold on atlanticjetsports.com. No personal experience though.

I believe those are WSM.
If the driveshaft is anything like the crankshaft quality I received I wouldnt be hesitant. I have 2 season on a SBT crankshaft in my RN with fully ported 61X cyl/62T epoxied cases, 84mm, ADA w/215 lb., MSD TL, BJ 44's/Bpipe, ect. and its been a champ and gets abused well. For the money on the crankshafts you cant go wrong, especially with the 1 year no fault warranty. For instance you may pay $425 +/- for a Hot Rods or pay $275 on the SBT. Its a nice little chunk of change of $150.
There was a day 12 years ago when I said SBT is "Somebody Bought Trash" or "Short Blown Technologies", but not today. SBT has coming a LONG way since then.
OEM is always better IMO too, but for the price and quality the SBT is worth it. The old saying "you get what you pay for" still holds true.

In my personal experience, I bent the shaft after one barrell roll. I would spend a little more money and buy the OEM.
