If ypu want a recreational boat then the i/os are the biggest bang for the
buck. Plus you get to have a full length rear deck for messing with the
ropes, skis, tubs etc. Sometimes we're bringing in multiple people the same
time we're putting out multiple people. Outboards are just in the way, fine
for fishing, but forget about it for recreational boating. I/o's are a bad
choice if you're going to leave it in a slip full time though.

I/O elitist. :)

Couldn't get me to buy a boat with an I/O.
