Default Re: Questionable Captains

Those new Volvo IPS drives are definitely A-1. I sold the first Regal ever built (40' footer) with IPS drives and I had to deliver it from Warwick, RI down the coast of CT and 40 miles up the CT river. I felt like Huckleberry Finn...

Even without the joystick...you can spin the boat on a dime....just turn teh wheel hard in the direction you want to go and then oppose the engines. Takes a little getting used but it is a trick system.
