Hi Nycap,

It is an interesting area and it's nice to see technolgy coming from commercial craft into leisure boats, diesel electric has moved on quite quickly and facilitates some interesting options for pod or azimuth systems. It's an area that has been neglected as buyers have focussed more on flat screens, garages for jet skis and under water LED lighting!

Thats why I prefer to work with commercial craft!or 50m+ as the engineers are then interested in th eoptions for under water systems. The under 15m (50') seems more marketing than engineering led? or am I being too cynical?
