He's the one talking about how tough to make his choice was. I would have been glad if someone had
steered me away from a stern drive when I bought the Pro Line for use in the bay. I'll never make
that mistake again."


BTW Johnny, the tough choice wasn't between stern drive and outboards...It was between a 17.5' Boat and an 18' Boat...both with the 3.0 MerCruiser stern drive engine. These were the 2015 left overs on sale avoiding higher prices due to our low dollar.


I don't see where an I/O drive on a trailerboat that spends its
"offtime" on a trailer in a driveway would be problematical. I wouldn't
keep an I/O boat out on a mooring or in a wet dock, but that isn't what
you are going to do.

I wouldn't take any advice on boats that Herring offers as valuable.
