Wayne,
I have owned I/O, inboard and outboard boats. The I/O and outboard
definitely are easier to handle in close quarters.

I did find it amazing that some people who had only owned inboards, found it
very difficult to dock an I/O. So I guess it is whatever you get used to.

Albemarles are okay boats, but woefully heavy and they roll a lot. Also,
most of the smaller ones have that awful compromise, an I/O.

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

Forgot to mention that we will be keeping the boat in a lift so I/O is
not as big an issue and actually has a few things to recommend it
around here.
