Then again I made many trips to the Hudson canyon in a 27 twin gas inboard 27 Phoenix fish buster and never did we lose a motor so. I can't say I ever seen a 26 rock out there but the guy a bought my boat from swears he did it all the time! Don't known if I those balls with a gasser? Diesel yes. Can remember fishing the north east canyons back in the late 80 and 90's and seeing a 26 Grover 100 plus miles off with a boat load of yellow fins. 26 feet long narrow as hell and as seaworthy as can be. My family built the verity skiff now known as the Grover built. And more and more of them are going to outboards in there boats that are under 30'. A few down east boat builders still put I/o in their boats( 20 to 22 footers) I would guess for the fact that they do tilt if you go shallow. I will say I have thought from time to time how cool it would be to put a pair of 4 strokes on a bracket on the stern of mine ( I would never do it ) I think I would go diesel before doing something that dumb. What I don't get in all the bs with maneuverability my boat is not the a hole lot of fun docking when it's blowing but it's not all that hard. I/o's sink fast hit a big piece at 20 kits and you better have a life raft. OUTBOARD The inboard boats draw less (they need less water to float) than a sterndrive if the sterndrive is all the way down. The boat on the left has an inboard or sterndrive motor and the boat on the right has an outboard motor. An inboard is hidden within the boat and an outboard is 100 visible. Pros: fast repower, good maneuverability,Ĭons:expensive, reduces access to transom, can't name the transom anything except Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Honda or Evinrude The main difference between an inboard and an outboard engine is their placement in the boat. ![]() Pros: good maneuverability, good economy, shallow draft,Ĭons: maintenance on the outdrive, jackshaft in lazarette limits spaceĬons: expensive, big power only right now, large space hog, eats up lazarette, additional draft, lots of parts, Pros: clean wake, a cool factor, keeps the lazarette clear, wheel tucked under hull, clear transom sans tabs, easy maintenance, easy to put your name on the back!Ĭons: backs poorly (single), limited low speed maneuverability, drag, lower speed, ![]() Setting aside this is an inboard forum, what is the viability of a new boat company that focuses on straight inboards in the 24-28' range? What is the future of each of these options?Ĥ. What are the financial advantages of each?ģ. What are the performance advantages of each?Ģ. M-dog mentioned "25 Seaworthy" or "26 Fortier" and of course the other manufacturers out there in used status that have moved on to other power options.ġ. I had contemplated this for some time and after andyb and Maguradog made mention of the availability and benefits of straight old school inboard vs other drive options it seemed an opportune moment to start a thread on the subject.
