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. ![]() Don't you ever get sick of yourself, **** for brains? He keeps 'himself' in the 'do not think about' column. -- Did Nofingers lose them when he shoved his hand up his ass? Did you inherit that mind? -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! |
