MarineMax sell lots of Galeon Yachts and Azimut Yachts. Most of them are powered by VP IPS.
Like it or not the VP IPS is a big success.
The Zeus drive by Cummins/Merc is more or less gone.
Volvo Penta is a Swedish based company and must follow laws set up by the Swedish Government and they are mildly said "liberal"

So safe to say VP basically bought 7M and the IP to forever dissolve the brand in the name of enviro naziism
Zeus more or less disappeared when the Cummins/Mercury diesel engine agreement ended a few years ago.Quote:
