Your comments about prop, trailering, etc can all also be addressed with an
outboard that weighs a lot less for the same horsepower. Even a 4 stroke OB
will weigh a lot less than an I/O of the same SHP.

============================

Ease of trailering, launching and prop replacement. We have a lot of
"thin" water here, some charted, some not. The boat will be stored in
a lift so corrosion is not a major issue.
