The two most common boat power options are sterndrive (inboard outboard) and outboard. The boat market was strongly dominated by sterndrive power for decades. That has dramatically changed in the last 5 years or so. That doesn't mean there outboard powerd boat issues don't exist. In this video we will cover:
0:00 - Intro
1:00 - Outboard engines are visible and sometimes in the way
1:42 - The weight balance/center of gravity is different
2:25 - They handle differently in rough water
2:47 - They may cost a little bit more to purchase
3:26 - They have less thrust around the dock or while towing
4:10 - Older outboard engines are noisey

I like outboards. The big plus for me is safety………no engine in enclosed bilge with possibly fuel fumes and a spark. 🔥

Another great video Sean! One further pro for an outboard configuration is the additional storage space available inside the boat where the Inboard might have been sitting:)

I think reliability should also be considered. On average outboards will fail and need repair more often and those repairs in the first 5 years after the warranty expires will cost about 3 times as more then a sterndrive. Mercury sells a insurance product that you can buy, it's called MPP -- Mercury Product Protection. This is a little like an extended warranty, it just doesn't cover as many problems and has a deductible each time you use it. Mercury sets the price on these and because they sell both I/Os and O/Bs, we can compare how much they think the average repairs in the 5 years after warranty expires will cost them. 300 HP outboard 5 year MPP plan $8,460.00 300HP sterndrive 5 year MPP plan $2,700.00 That's more then 3 times the cost to insure the O/B then the I/O! Also you can buy a 7 year plan on I/Os but only a 5 year plan on O/Bs. Makes me wonder if the breakdowns and repair in years 6 and 7 are going to cost soo much that Mercury doesn't want to insure them?

I would choose outboard (although mine is i/o presently), for ease of winter-storage here in cold Ontario; and I can’t get over how the newer ones are whisper quiet! But to each their own. Great video once a plain. Thanks. 🇨🇦👍🏼
