Navigator and aft vibration issues?

Sorry to have ruffled feathers with my post about the Navigator’s history of its hull. I only thought it might be a reason for it’s rough ride on rough seas. 

Actually, I believe I read somewhere that there are some inherent design flaws in the engine mounting and prop shaft routing that contribute to most of the vibration - which is a direct result of her initially designed purpose - a working military craft vs. a pleasure craft.  Kinda like putting plush wool carpets and sumptuous leather seats in a '74 Ford Pinto and trying to tell people it's a Rolls Royce.

 

So yeah, Navigator might have an 'edge' - but that's part of her charm to a lot of us.
