Sure, no problem. It's actually quite simple once you're looking at it. In a nutshell:
-- An outdrive boat has, well, an "outdrive"

Meaning, big black things that stick off the back (transom) of the boat with propellers and you can tilt them up and down.
-- A v-drive boat, of course, has propellers - but they are tucked UNDERNEATH the boat, a few feet forward of the transom. You will also see rudders since, unlike outdrives, the props do not rotate for steering.
INSIDE the boat...
-- A V-drive has the engines mounted backwards. Meaning, an engines' serpentine belt is not readily visible as it's facing the back of the boat.
-- The driveshaft (that goes to the props) comes out of the engine and goes FORWARD to a transmission where the shaft makes a "V" turn and then goes out the bottom of the boat.
At the helm, for shifting/throttle controls:
-- If you have outdrives, you will have a total of two controls and they will be black.
-- If you have v-drives, you will a total of 4 controls and they will be shiny with, probably, golden knobs at the top.
