Opinions on I/O versus Outboard

[gabe1]

Hello
I don’t know if I am posting this in the wrong place but here it goes.

I just came back from vacation (Long Island Sound )and my boat behaved nicely In salt water for 5 days (1988 3.0 liter Mercruiser/Alpha One).

I was very surprised to see that a lot of the boats at the marina and out on the water were Outboards with Yamaha motors ?

75% of my boating is done in salt water 25% at the lake.

I have been playing with the idea of buying something bigger then my 19’ Searay.

Should my next boat be an Outboard?

Thanks for your opinion
Gabriel

Try the Boat Topics and Questions (not engine topics) forum, you will have both Outboard and I/O owners there. Here you are talking to I/O owners on the most part. Here's a link to it.
