It is faster, less draft, you can trim and you can tilt it up for prop replacements with the boat in-water. IPS also takes more space which can be better used in a 40´. In the 50-footer we may build a small tender garage above the drives if I can design a good enough hull with just 16° deadrise... |
What I heard from Volvo deadrise could be up to 24 degrees
and you can also read it from this article:

But I can´t confirm whats right because of different messages from VP
