Re: Benefits of a I/O over a outboard motor
I have owned and pesently own both, I prefer an Outboard, I suppose the main reason being is hte safety factor, Gasoline fumes can and been known to accumalate in the bildge, and a spark can inginte them or worse a Bilge Bomb.<br /><br />Other reasons I like outboards, they are alot easier to replace, (in case you want to, or have to replace the motor you have). The older models are easier than you think to work on yourself. There is numerous add-on accessories/preformance parts available. <br /><br />Good Luck, Brian
