Hi Wiz,
Just so you know; all boats built after 19?? and under 20 feet
are
required to have level floatation built in.
Those boats won't float the powerhead though. A Whaler will.



Not necessarily true. Any number of outboard boats have enough
flotation
properly placed to float the boat and its powerhead.
Bayliners? With I/O's?

Bayliners are mostly I/O's. Very few are O/B's.





Bayliner makes a line of boats called "Trophy," and the smaller ones and
several of the larger ones are outboard-equipped.

I'm not a big fan of I/O's, but I understand why some people like them.

Same here - just too clunky, and complex (gimbles, cables, etc).
But they DO make the boat much cheaper, and for the first time
boat owner, its sometimes the difference between being able to
buy a new boat, or not (price difference)
