I have an I/O used primarily for fishing. I've also been on a friend's Parker
(outboard) fishing. Where I have an engine cover to contend with, I also have a
nice place to cut bait, tie lures, sit, etc. Although my friend doesn't have an
engine cover, he does have to use a large cooler or two on which to do the same
thing. So, the 'room' ends up being close to the same.
