In Response To: Re: Mercruiser Gets it righter? (vic Roy)

WIth all due respect, counselor, you don't know what the he11 you're talking about. I've run an IPS boat, spent time speaking with their engineers and spoken to several OEM's such as Tiara and Hinkley who are designing boats around these systems. This type of system is nothing new-it's been around for decades on large ships, it merely took some innovative thinking to get it sized properly for the recreational market. Every boat manufacturer with whom I spoke in Miami is interested in adding IPS to their line. I guess they're all stupid too? Do youself a favor-run one, spend some time researching the engineering aspect of this drive system then get back to us. Unitl then, you're just flapping your gums and the sound emmenating therefrom is just uninformed, meaningless twaddle. Toodles...

PS: Even before Merc's release, the lawsuits were ready to be launched. Hinkley's operations head remarked to me that "...looks like Merc only broke 3/4 of the patents in place!"
