23 SeaCraft IB vs OB

[DonV]

Not really. It's just the maintenance on outboards seems to be cheaper in the long run and they are getting very dependable. However if you are planning on long trips for like grouper fishing, etc. and it was a diesel versus gas....that's a different story. Chuck also makes a very good point to think about, inboards and the ground do not mix quite as well as an outboard with tilt/trim. Take care.
