The tow guy said that it's possible to break the drive shaft but still have a reverse….but a weaker feeling reverse. Sound possible? Doesn't make a lot of sense IMO. Logically seems that if the drive shaft broke I'd have absolutely zero in either forward or reverse.

I think I was either up on plane or about to be on plane when i heard/felt sort of a breaking sound from the engine and then the RPM's went way up. Long story short??..aftewards had no forward gear. BUT had reverse.
