Repair, replacement is a lesser cost with an OB. Had that setup for 20 years. Not that much fun wrestling it into place and taking it out when you're done for the weekend. If I were to go with an outboard again, I'd want one on a retractable mount on the stern, not one mounting in the lazarette. But for my money an inboard is the way to go. Close call, perhaps, with a 26. An outboard definitely has its charms when it comes to cost. The original design spec for the HR28 showed a tip-up outboard in the lazarette with a sliding drop-down sleeve that filled the gap when underway or at anchor. |
