I am still searching for my next boat and i'm having a revelation that i really don't want pods. i don't really even care about a joystick. i would prefer both bow and stern thrusters actually. i'm also now leaning towards a bigger hulled boat (like a 50 Sundancer) that has some speed where i can run around above high 20's knots. all the new boats i've been looking at seem to have Volvo IPS and my internet searches are revealing some nightmares. How can i tell used Sea Ray models that don't have pods? I've seen some big Sundancers with Cummins engines that don't list pods (or specifically say Zeus). will i have to find an older boat to not get pods? i know the new 400 Fly has V Drives, but we are starting to think we want a bigger boat in case of any seas we might encounter and running inlets. thanks for any input.
