Owner of 2002 vista 248...upgraded last year. New to boating and hear a squeal noise when start in drive. Is this belt or some sort of bearing noise. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

First of all check the belts are at the correct tension, if they are and it still squeeks spray a small amount of water on the belt if it stops squeeking it shows it's the belt. It will need replacing, in my experience there is no long term cure for a squeeking belt.

You could also try a crayon on the belt sounds crazy but it works. I am sure a tea lite candle would work too. My belt was sqeaking and after this it stopped
