The recent ... in the past five years ... addition of azimuth pods to
pleasure boating has stirred my attention. I know of only a few power
catamaran manufacturers (AfriCat being one) that have added this form of
propulsion.
And my discovery of Malcolm Tennant's 'canoe stern' has caused me to
consider incorporating the two.
My big question: Whether the Cummins/Mercruiser Zeus (a pusher) or the
Volvo IPS (a tractor) is the more appropriate.
Has anyone any thoughts about this combination?

How about some rim-drives on that Tennant CS hull
