Being an avid fan of Whale Wars the various boats the Sea Shappards used had strange drive systems. One of the boats used 2 drive trains, 1 for slow speed, 1 for fast. They had to switch to pursuit the whalers vs just idle around looking for them.

Another boat they had to come to a dead stop to "shift" gears in order to pursuit vs cruse while the others are like a car they just give more throttle and watch the gas gauge to allow enough fuel for a return trip.

I imagine a boat is piloted more with fuel consumption in mind?
