So, since my budget only accommodates reading and cyphering right now, I continue to do my homework towards deciding just what I'll build. Looking at the available power plants, I came across the subject propulsion system. I am fascinated by the concept and wonder if a single application would work in the Monte Carlo or Miss Chris. The Volvo specs indicate that the produce is set-up for twin engine applications, but I'm curiosity is directed towards a single engine application.

Figured this would make for an interesting conversation.

Guess with enough time and money one could do most anything.

It IS an interesting system,but you will probably have to contact the factory as to the feasibility of single screw use.

I can't remember any member mentioning experience with this system.

So, I asked directly through the VP website about a single unit application. Simplistic one line response was, that due to steering dynamics, a single unit application is not planned at this time. Pretty nifty concept for folks that are interested in a larger vessel w/ twin engine applications.

Damn thing must be inherently unstable if it takes 2 of them to steer.
