Your gonna start seeing a-lot more express boats with Diesel engines under the cockpit coupled to IPS drives. You keep keep the mid-birth like Mike's Grady, Have a clean transom without 2-4 outboards in the way, diesel reliability/longevity, better manueverability than outboards & inboards, better fuel economy and increased speeds than inboards. Oh and you still keep a low center of gravity, but not as mid ship like a straight inboard.

Not sure what the negatives of these drives are yet....too new.
