Dunno. I just know I/Os usually come from up north and get replaced
with an outboard boat here pretty quickly. I think the 4 stroke
outboard has really taken a bite out of any advantage an I/O had.
they are certainly a lot easier to work on you are standing up and not
standing on your head with a flashlight and a mirror.


No argument from me on that. I've had two I/O type boats and I'd never
own another one again but the problems were not due to the bellows.
Outboards on smaller boats ... (although a lot more costly) and inboards
(diesel) with fixed props and rudders for the bigger ones.


I am not really even sure outboards cost more since they seem to be
lighter and you don't need as big a one.


Price a new, 2016 250 hp Yamaha V6 and get back to us..., and don't
forget to add in rigging. Motor weighs about 600 pounds.

The discussion has been about Don's 17.5' boat. You reckon Greg is thinking 250hp for
that boat?

Don't you ever get sick of yourself?

The price of a 135 hp Yamaha outboard is $14,000+, **** for brains. I
would guess you could buy at least two or maybe three I/O's of that
horsepower for that money.

Of course, the BOSE model is smaller but more expensive.

He keeps 'himself' in the 'do not think about' column.
