Generally speaking, small boats such as outboards are far less

The transoms are either wide open or cut down.
The cockpits are wide open, the freeboards are lower.
They have smaller and fewer bilge pumps, often only one.
They have smaller and fewer batteries.
Cockpit decks are not water tight.
Control cables have holes in liners that allow a lot of water
entry.
Outboards have all the engine weight at the stern, making them

Why do you critisize the boats of others?
