Hi, they are interesting and there are advantages. I am not sure I would eliminate a bow thruster though, in some situations the IPS (like waterjets) can not perform miracles.
The weight is about the same as the Cat which is about 1.500 kg plus gear and the IPS 850 is 1.800 kg.
Right now I am looking into the options for a fast 50-footer and may end up with three IPS 600 instead of two IPS 850. Volvo is very helpful to boatbuilders in assisting with calculations based on your hull and speed requirements.
