Default Re: I/O vs. OB

My father's 23' Sceptre OB (225 Yam OX66 carb on 6" manual jack plate) is within 1mph WOT of his best friend's 23' Sceptre I/O (260 Merc carb/Alpha drive). Their cruise speeds are similar too. The one thing I like better about the I/O is ride - all that weight down low gives it a bigger boat feel under way. The OB has a virtual dance floor in the cockpit so it's better for fishing.
