IPS is now starting to show up on yachts in the 50' to 60' Range. Check out the upcoming Tiara Sovran 5800.

The 5800 uses 3 IPS drives. This really excites me because more people can get a Volvo IPS boat larger than 40' but don't have the desire or resources for a 75' yacht. Hopefully Carl can get more info on this exciting boat.
One question on the LSX. Won't the helmsman have to deal with a lot of wind screen glare with the lower level being open?
