Looks great, but I know I can't afford it. One in each end,
retractable of course, would be ideal.

The Staten Island ferry that crashed with loss of life last week has
Voith-Schneider drives. It can dock in the most severe cross currents
with no fuss at all. The earlier boats bounce their way in on the
constantly-replaced pilings.

The drives had nothing to do with the crash, I am sure.
