That's right, there are really so few different makes &
models of boats on the market nowadays.



That fit *my* wants and needs.......yes..............and they all have
I/O's.


If my Proline doesn't last until I die, I will have an outboard on my
next
boat. Unless bassie and I get rich and I get this:

******Have a spectacular day!******

Don't you have an outboard now?

I agree that an inboard or outboard is the way to go in salt water.


No, the 1997 Proline 21'er came with the 5.7L Mercruiser. The newer ones
are outboards, and I didn't know about all the reasons for not having an
outdrive when I bought this one.

Now that I'm a member of rec.boats, I've learned all this good stuff!

Interesting. I have the 5.7 on my 25' Starcraft. Dream boat, 25' TomCat
will definitely have outboards, both by design and desire. I love the
simplicity and silence.
