Re: I/O or OB
If you either put a flush kit set up or you trailer your boat an I/O can last very long and maintanence will be be reduced. One friend of mine is doing just that and has put many a long season on his with little expense. His fuel burn numbers are great and the perfromance is exellent.
IMHO the best combo for a boat over all is a inboard with a straight shaft like the Shamrocks. The ride of the boat is vastly improved and you don't have to deal with the outdrive maintancence etc. There is a fellow down at Morgan Marina that has a older Shamrock with this set up on a keel drive and inboard engine, last time I saw him he had over 2G's hour wise on his motor and no problems.
