I/O OR OUTBOARD - WHAT'S BEST??

(Jim Stallings) wrote in message . com...
One thing that no one mentioned that I wonder about -- noise level.
Is either motor inherently quieter in most operation? How about the 4
stroke OBs?

Thanks again for your help !!

Jim

This was the main reason I chose an I/O. The noise of OBs really
affects my enjoyment of boating. Reportedly the newer 4 strokes are
much quieter, but they are also very expensive. I know the
conventional wisdom is not to choose an I/O for sal****er use, but my
'96 Mercruiser Alpha 1 has been moored in salt water since 1998. I
clean it out well every year, and with good care and maintenance it
has been very reliable and fairly trouble-free, and I've seen little
evidence of corrosion. So these are guidelines, not necessarily
absolutes. I love the relatively smooth, quiet power.
