On a trailer or lift is a different story. I'm a fan the the I/0. It does have more maintenance than a modern outboard and you do have to be fairly anal about maintenance. but it usually rides better, normally has better torque, you can work on the engine yourself and that old car engine will warn you before it quits, if you are listening. The key is good maintenance. Do that and an I/0 is an extremely reliable system.
