I am wondering what the benefits of inboard over an outboard is and visa-versa.
The only one I can think of is outboard much more easily customizable from the point of view you can completely take the engine off your boat and put a new one different make/model where as inboard is pretty much fixed.
But there has to be a reason why boat manufactures make them to different ways in/out board?
Like is it something like eventually if you want higher horsepower engines in your boat then eventually they will get to heavy to install on the sides of the boat. (i.e the side would break). Is this why inboards are made or chosen
Thanks for any help
