Re: Which type of engine do you prefer?

I am really enjoying inboards, and working on them is pretty easy. I would pretty much only go with inboards or outboards.

Re: Which type of engine do you prefer?

Having owned (and currently owning) both sterndrives (I/O's) and outboards, I would definately say outboards are preferred in terms of maintenance simplicity and access...

Yes, Mike, I can't wait to change the spark plugs on my boat or the big block beasts you have....
