INBOARD OUTBOARD VS OUTBOARD INSTALL
Someone said you don't see people going from outboard to inboard and they must be correct cause I haven't heard of it either but one reason would be its a hell of lot more work going the other way having to install engine beds and such. I think it really comes down to what the boat designer has designed the hull for and some have changed from inboard to out board and sure those that have made the change would say its the best thing they have done. Your drive on a inboard can be a very expensive item if you don't treat them well and service regularly costing just as much as a rebuilt motor if you really stuff up. Something else that differs in the performance of these two engines is the ability to trim. This can also impact the weight capacity you get with the boat itself as the inboard will eat up some of that space. I also found it to be quieter than the screaming 2 strokes I always had, I am sure the 4 strokes are much better in that department now. In the same sense, the power to weight ratio is less with an inboard because it’s heavier than an outboard. Its only 7 m and having the weight forward and low really gives the boat a nice ride. The boat I have now is the first inboard vessel I have owned and toke sometime working out if I really wanted to go down that road until I went for a run and all concerns were gone. I have found the parts for inboards are easy to get and the cost is not that bad considering everything marine is dear anyway. Certainly better if you need to do some repairs on the water with the motor right where you want it. You do lose some deck space but I use this area for a bait board and also as a seat so you can work around the the issue. Outboards are easier to work on where inboards can be a little hard if the engine bay is small.
I certainly found the fuel burn better and also the toque with the inboards but the four stoke outboards do very well if you see some of the figures thrown around by those who have them. The fuel injected motors are pretty safe these days and if installed correctly helps also. The big bang theory of inboards is still alive and kicking and the old carburetor motors would be probably the highest risk in my opinion. The old outboard vs inboard, had both like many and all come with good and not so good points.
