does anybody have an oppion on inboard outboard, vs outboard motors ???

I sure do...I've owned both, and I'll never own another I/O; constant problems, hard to work on, (I do a lot of my own maintenance/repairs), tempermental, and you need a jillion special tools if you want to do it "right".  This is like asking if blondes or brunettes are better, though...everybody feels strongly one way or the other, I think.

What I really notice though, is you'll see a whole lot more old O/B's on the water than you will old I/O's.

If you're talking about in a bass boat.  I wouldn't have an I/O.   Whole rear of the boat is just about useless.  Better buy it very cheap, because you'll have one hellava time finding someone else to sell/trade it to when you decide you wish you had gotten an OB.

All my friends who have and I/O do not like them.
