shoud the prop shaft boot be running out that bad?

I think that is a little excessive. THe main thing, does it leak?

Tilt the ski as far back as you can, put that intake tube back on and fill the ski with water just over the seal. Run it on the hose for 5 minutes and see if you see any water dripping from the intake grate where the drive shaft enters the hull. You may have to get under the ski while it is running to check.

I don't have the time to remove everything to take a good video, but here is a quick one of mine.
