Safety is a factor that hasn’t really been discussed. Most modern I/O have the drive tucked far enough under the swim platform that swimmers won’t hit it when jumping in. Speaking of the swim platform, the outboard dramatically cuts into your available space. One other note, I would want more than 250 HP in a 24 ft boat. I had a 23 ft Monterrey with a 300 HP (I think) 5.0 V8 and it was adequate at best. I had a 27 ft Regal with a 320 HP 5.7 V8 and it was a dog. If you plan to do any water sports or fill the seats, don’t skimp on power. It will ruin your experience.
