Partly looking for better fuel economy on a bigger boat. Older 2 strokes are dirty and inefficient on fuel. Newer 4 stroke or injected 2 stroke outboards are expensive. My alternative is to try an I/O with one of the smaller motors. Then I start thinking about diesel. No real idea if that is sound thinking - just something I have always wanted to try.

I would like to get an inboard outboard Why? You'd lose a lot of space to the motor that is now hanging off the back of the transom. That's one thing I really like about our outboard boat, lots of interior space for its size. The squared open bow can seat something like five in a pinch, and there's no motor in back to take up valuable cooler space. Modern pointy-toed open bow boats are lucky to hold two up front. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
