Outboard vs I/O on Bow Rider
Starting a boat search now that we’re back on the lake. Considering reasonably used 21 - 24 foot bow rider models but have a question about power.
It seems a few years ago, outboards became quite popular on this style of boat. For some reason, not so much anymore. Any idea why? Since we live on the lake, I like the idea of not having to winterize (not necessary with outboards) as we often get warm days in the winter and it would be nice to take it out without having to re-winterize each time.
One boat of interest is a 2018 Four Winns HD240 OB with a Yamaha 250 outboard available at a marina nearby. It’s a 24 foot boat and I’m just concerned that there may be a downside that I’m unaware of. Did a review search to no avail. Anyone have experience with a decision between I/O or outboard?
