Most of my boating has always been on fresh water lakes and rivers with most waterways always plenty deep. In saltwater and in Florida's intercoastal waterways and bays that are also effected by tides, shallow water is common. My 21' boat has a chevy 350 based Mercruiser IO and it works just fine in fresh water and our relatively deep water. I much prefer it to an outboard for our pleasure boating use. If I was in saltwater however, I would 100% go outboard due to being able to tilt motor out of the corrosive saltwater when not in use and also to be able to operate in shallower water.
