Default Re: 23 SeaCraft IB vs OB

Have run lots and lots of times in both boats and purchased an outboard 23 cc w/full transom. The inboards clearly ride much nicer in the water and get sl better mpg. The newer 4 stroke outboards are much easier for basic maintenance,reliability,trailering and shallow water use. My biggest issue with the i/o was the engines always sit in the rear of the boat in a salt water bilge area and seem to require lots and lots of basic repairs which is not easy for lots of us non-mechanics. The additional space you have in an outboard is valuable fishing area in the back of the boat as well. Most newer boats are built with outboard engines as they are more in demand vs the older i/o styles. A diesel engine with a jackshaft would be a nice inboard if you decide to go that route.
