I/O vs. OB

[Tiny]

had a 74 scepter 20 with a 130 yamaha (91) outboard and now have a 71 i/o with a 4 cyl merc (circa 89).

The I/O rides better, gets better economy, cruises a little slower and tops out a couple miles per hour less... any day my family and I would rather have the IO. We actually like the IO box, it's great for sitting on while drift fishing, and the closed transom is nice...especially with a 1 and 3 year old. It's the best, most capable all around boat for us I feel like we could find anywhere.
