The boat itself is a 22 footer,but the extension adds another good 3 foot (including engine).There is decent sleeping room in the cuddy ,but it is not a Marriot hotel.

Here is another one in action.

I do think they make less outboards and they seem to be more desired

[rolmops]

They are called: Starcraft 221 Bracket

Inboard outboard motors are history now. All new boats are outboards except Volvo or diesels.

When did they stop making Mercruisers?

[jimski2]

All I see at the boat dealers today are outboards. In Florida I saw a boat with five three hundred hp outboards on a bracket on the transom.

All the boats I ever had were outboards, never had any major problems, but I always wanted an I/O, well I'm ready to go with a newer 4 stroke outboard, my buddy has one amazing!!! Can troll at 1.0 mph with his motor you can drop rpm's to get any speed you want. All with paddles on the steering wheel right side is up in rpm left side is down, the paddles are like the shift models of a automatic trans on a sports car, like my wife's honda sport.

Check out hews craft boats

Another boat you should look at is the Steiger Craft Chesapeake with bracket. It is a 23 footer (without the bracket) and has a nice pilot house and a decent cuddy. Although it is fiber glass, it is still towable.

If I win the LOC derby I will order one.
