It is very efficent and has great handleing, it's based on the much proben "POD" technology used on large vessels for years , so it is proven. Problem is that it is very limiting with draft (fine if you in Miami or PB) and the issue of WTF will happen if someone ever his a sumbirged object, be it coral, cargo container, etc. Also for those who have inboards that they trailer, this is simply out of the question. It is a niche product that I think will work well in it's niche. I do know of several companies designing hulls areound the drive and it's strengths to get maximum benifits.
