Re: inboard to outboard
Even though I think it would be a shame to convert an i/b, I have to agree that the wet bilge does a number on the engine. I recently sold my 23 with an I/O for just that reason. Every year the starter would be seized up due to the wet salty environment where it was mounted on the 350. I tried to keep the dryest bilge. I had to have 2 starters. One to rebuild while the other was being ruined in the bilge. Other than that the boat was awesome. I just hated that power configuration. I was looking for an outboard 23 to rebuild but settled on a 20 that I am Completing now.
