Abstract

Marine propulsion systems are the core of high speed planing craft (HSPC), a major factor in creating acceleration, and speed retaining therein. HSPC have used many surface drives to drive the craft. The propulsion systems installed on these vessels are always an important factor for buyers and users, This article reviews and compares the several different of surface drives system been designed for planing boat and the important factors to evaluate a surface drive system have later been investigated, The overall results show that the best propulsion system have higher safety and reasonable price and lower maintenance cost per year and can provide more speed for boats. Hence, the articulated surface drives while having high hydrodynamic efficiency will be a priority for installed on most new planing craft.
