In the trailer position the outdrive is high enough to be even with the keel so I think sand bars would not be a problem. But even the trailer position is not high enough to get the outdrive out of the water. So if your boat stays in the water I would choose an outboard. My boat is an I/O with fresh water (closed) cooling system. The engine is approaching 20 years of use in the Chesapeake bay and still running strong.
