IPS honored at Miami show

GOTEBORG, Sweden – The Volvo Penta IPS (Inboard Performance System), which replaces traditional shaft installations for boats in the 35 to 50 foot range, was honored with the “Best of the Year” award by Motor Boating magazine at the Miami Boat Show, Volvo Penta said in a recent press release.

“What could be the most revolutionary package since the stern drive will definitely alter boat design and the way we go boating in the future,” the magazine said in its award to Volvo Penta.

During the winter and spring of 2005, Volvo Penta is launching its new drive system based on pulling propellers and steerable drive units.
