Unless the boat is big enough to have true inboard(s), an I/O is going to be
in the way for fishing. This is why you see very few I/O fishing boats.

It really depends on the boat. If your talking about a fishing boat then
chances are it is an outboard you want. For a cruiser/runabout - I/O
For at 30' cruiser - inboard.
But there are variations to this.
Decide the boat and the engine will probably decide for you. Just make
sure it is not underpowered.

I am curious as to why you would suggest outboards for a fishing boat. It
seems to me that having the OBs hanging off the transom would be an
impediment to reeling in the big ones (or small ones for that matter).
