One the later Seaworthy from BoatUS shows a boat that has been stolen and
stripped. Those E-tecs would be no problem at all.


theyd have a hell of a time stealing the boat too.

Why would you choose one type of propulsion over another?

If the boat requires just one engine and outboards are available, that is
the way to go. Otherwise twin inboards.


Twin inboards when they are necessary, but there are lots of single-engine
inboard boats that do very well on one prop.



I could never quite get a good handle on maneuvering a single screw inboard.

JimH,
It is very different from a I/O, but once you learn how to take
advantage of "prop walk" it is just as easy.
