The first SeaCraft I even rode on was a 23' inboard Sceptre back in the 70's, and it was pretty amazing how well it rode in 3-4' seas. All that weight low and smack in the middle of the boat acts almost like a gyro stabilizer. Not a speed demon, but crazy good ride, engine box takes up a good deal of the cockpit, a little more work docking than an OB or I/O, and to my ears the IB sounds way cool.

The Mrs has voiced concerns over the noise and potential for the engine to be a hotbox for the inboard, not to mention taking up half the dance floor back there. I’ve seen where people turn engine boxes into seating area and bait/tackle stations among other things. Do the engine boxes get real hot? If so, I can see that being a plus in the winter but a dealbreaker in the summer.
