Off to try out that new forward-facing drive system. There's a Tiara in
town for water demos of this new technology.

After taking a few spins around the bay, I'll report my observations
this eve. or tomorrow.

Bang into a rock and let us know what happens.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

It must be nice to boat in water deep enough that you don't have to worry
about timing your trips with the tide.

Look for one of those partially floating logs and report on the aftereffects
of contact.

Here is a picture of the IPS system. At the bottom right is a link to a
media PR presentation. It reminds me of the old saildrive system used on
sailboats. It is a combination of inboard with an I/O outdrive on the
bottom of the boat. Definitely not for shallow water boating. ; )

Do it. Let us know. You know, if you would put the manufactures web site in your
article somewhere, it would save us some searching to find pics of whatever
you're reviewing.

Just a suggestion.
