"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."


Yup...drysail is the term we use.
Out of the almost 8000 hours in a year, my boat might average 25 in the water. (if we really like this new boat, that might be a bit higher) In four years the Legend didn't spend one night in the water.

Just flush out the motor and lower unit after use, keep everything
greased and oiled, and wash the salt off the boat and trailer and axles
and you'll be fine.
