I/O vs. OB

[adamcannon]

I like that an outboard has its own little compact compartment(no engine box in the floor). Probably the best thing about an outboard(and most of you have been here). You go out in the boat(I/O or OB) and the son-of-a-b@#$h breaks down and leaves you strainded. While the towboatus guy is dragging you back to the ramp you can have the OB unbolted(no cherry picker required) and making a nice little artificial reef that you can go back and fish later. With an I/O it is pretty easy to blow you and your boat into a million pieces if you were to forget to turn on the blower. The only thing I like about the I/O is the ride. They do ride much better in a chop.
