MHM I am in the middle of a restore on a 1969 20 Sea Craft with the I/O package, this was my dads boat when I was a kid and I had to have it. Many gripe about the I/O taking up too much space in the back of the boat, personally I will sacrifice a foot of room where the dog house sits in return for a full transom, if you have ever been in the outboard version of this boat you might be a little unsettled the first time you bring the boat off plane especially if you are in any sea's
I toyed around with the idea of going outboard and one major consideration was cost, I just bought an entire package for $ 6200.00 that is including fresh water cooled, I figure I can blow the motor 2x and replace it before I reach the cost of what a 150hp outboard will cost. Besides majority of them are outboard so we have something special
