I'm not
a fan
of I/O's for several reasons, but I've seen - literally -
thousands of
boats of all sizes out on the ocean powered by I/O's.
The only I/Os we see here are big go fast boats with 7+ liter
V-8s in
them or snow birds who have not figured out they have the
wrong boat
yet. Even now, the go fast crowd is migrating to trip or quad
outboards. I see a Yellowfin 36 out at the beach now and then
running
trip 7 Marines.

I/Os may be fine as a northern trailer boat but they suck in
tropical
salt water, especially if they are raw water cooled. The last
time I
did a survey, we had 78 boats in my little 120 resident
neighborhood.
None are I/Os.
Half are Yamaha, a quarter Mercury and the remaining quarter are
Zekes, 2 smoke OMCs, One Etec and one Honda. I don't remember
the last
time I saw an I.O on the river but I am sure it had out of state
numbers on it.
I understand the I/O is pretty popular on the Chesapeake but
that may
just be because it is not really salt water and that the are
cheap. It
may make sense for a person looking at a 3-4 month season.
My experience with the I/O in the Chesapeake taught me to
never, ever
have another I/O in salt
water. Many folks here suggested that Donnee look at an outboard
instead of an I/O, but, of course,
Donnee knew better.

Duh, JohnnyMop....the advice came after I had purchased the bow
rider. I did look at the same model with the 90hp outboard but in
the time it took me to walk around the boat show, the last 2015
Bayliner 170BR had been sold. I got my 2015 175BR at a reduced
price
at the 2016 show because it was an unsold boat from the previous
year. If I wanted to pay 40% more I would have gone with the
2016
BR 180 and an upgrade to the 115 hp Mercury.

How much have you lost on your other boat purchases? I learned a
long
time ago that it pays to spend a few extra bucks for quality. You
can't
add it later. Perfect examples are major appliances, gas grills,
lawnmowers, cars, *and* boats.


Wow...major appliances, gas grills, lawnmowers, cars, and boats
appreciate in value, eh, Alex? Who would have guessed. :)


Reading comprehension. Where did he say they increase in value.
He said
for a few bucks more, you get much better quality. In the end it
may add
value. Might last a lot longer.


D'oh is not a deer, a female deer. :)


Another brain fart, Harry?


Spending more is no assurance of better quality, whatever that means.


Again, you are making bad assumptions. I said: "it pays to spend a few
extra bucks *for* quality."

Here's an example so you don't get too stressed out over your dumb remark...

I used to buy gas grills about every other year. They would rust out
and fall apart. I paid a bit more and bought a nice, stainless Weber
that has served us well for over 10 years now. It is also larger, cooks
evenly, and still looks great.

Get it now?

Once I get my boat fixed up, waxed, etc., I actually plan to make a profit. We'll see. Right now
just owning it is very pleasurable.


You are thinking of selling it? Let me know when. I'll allow a fair
profit.

Just hold on. Got some work to do first. It's nice to see a few folks showing interest already!


Based on the pic I saw it doesn't seem to need all that much work and it
has very nice lines. I think you are just trying to drive the price up.


Caught. :)


Trying to get a bidding war going?

The Ditzy one feels that by throwing his money around, he'll have the best. Just look at his 70+ guns.

True, but quality does cost extra.



It depends on how quality is defined. It doesn't always cost more.

I didn't write that either, Krause. Again, I wrote "it pays to spend a
few extra bucks _for_ quality", not in anticipation of better quality as
you refuse to understand. You know damn well Don has made some poor
decisions in his boat buying escapades and have said nothing. You
wouldn't want to lose your little puppy over that, would you?

Guns may become pretty expensive soon since there is usually a run on

On the other hand, if you bought Raytheon a year ago you are up over
