I asked Carl Moesly himself about the CG difference between the I/O and the outboard models, and he said it was further forward on the I/O model. He designed both, so he ought to know! However his OB design was for the I-6 Merc, which weighs less than 300 lbs! With today's 400-500 lb outboards, the CG difference between the I/O and outboard models would be even more pronounced!
