CC28 drive question

[Captain Spike]

Hello everyone. Please could someone clarify what drives are available for the CC28. I've viewed one which has Volvo KAMD43's and outdrives but I've also seen some pictures that seem to show 28's fitted with shafts and rudders. From the maintenance point of view I'd obviously prefer shafts but what is the performance penalty?

What do you consider the best engine / drive combination. Yanmar 315's sound good to me.
