Are Inboard Outboard or I/O boats becoming a thing of the past? Outboard engines are better than ever and I think they are making the inboard outboard engine (or sterndrive) option obsolete. This video covers the positives and negatives of an IO boat and looks at how several manufacturers like Sea Ray, Four Winns and Cobalt are now offering outboard engine options because the time is right. If you're shopping for a new boat in 2022 or going to be shopping for new boats in 2023, going with an outboard engine vs a sterndrive or an inboard/outboard seems like the right choice!

If you are shopping for a new boat and are considering whether to get an inboard/outboard engine option or whether an outboard motor would be an option to consider, I cover some things to consider and whether an outboard engine is a better choice for a new boat purchase. If you are shopping for a new boat this year I believe an outboard engine is a better option if you have a choice between buying or ordering one with a sterndrive or I/O inboard/outboard engine.
