soon after one of it's first appearance at a show, a demo driven by factory engineers (was it cruisers or tiara?) with IPS ran up a sandbar at high speed on the ICW. some broken bones i think, and some damage but the hull wasn't breached. the incident was widely reported back then 2 or 3 years ago.

I just get a a little nervous at the thought of computers running my steering gear thru servo motors/pumps... i know an hydraulic line can fail too but not as darmatically as having one set of props turned 30 degrees.
