-outboard the most popular with fishing boats
-inboard popular with small boats and jet skis
-stern drive popular with offshore racing boats
and yes the 2nd is a inboard and the 3rd one is a stern drive
here are some more pics
the last one is a offshore racing boat going 170 mph

there nice and their high output but still no match for the awsome power of the twin 600 hp each stern drive and thats a small stern drive for a racing boat

Yes but stern drives are ugly and props cut off limbs. :P
-
Are old boat has a 1970s Johnson 50hp outboard. Runs alright and when its at full throttle it puts out a good amount of speed. ;)(also alot of noise. To talk you have to yell loud) :D We took it out thursday. Cought 30 preety good size croaker and a spot.<-fish...
-
I like inboards, because they can't get robbed ::) :D
-
i like outboard. they look good on lots of boats.
-
so what if stern drives are ugly. and outboards can cut limbs you have to stay away for the prop. and with inboards you have to deal with overheating and carbon monoxide

Carbon Monoxide comes with ANY engine, ours outputs though the jets with the water, overheating really only happens if you get seaweed caught in your intakes and plugs like we had happen with out port engine, but they are easily accessible and you just pull it out, not our fault our friend needed a tow because his OUTBOARD fried up.
-
Stern drives shouldn't be ugly. You can't see mine, because they're under the bathing platform.

Yes but then you also have the problem with props hitting the buttom, our depth meter is on the BOTTOM of the boat and there is NOTHING lower then it, because the jets sit up higher and don't have anything that could hit the bottom.
The wake jets make is awesome to do figure 8's and jump your wake or go on a jetski and jump it.
-
I think our stern drive is very beutiful
-
I think Stern Drives are the most simple to handle in medium sized boats like mine because you don't have to worry about them getting caught in tall sea-weed. ;)
-
What is the point of this Poll ???
-
with stern drive if you get in shallow water you raise the prop up with a little thing called a trim tab. and with inboards you have to deal with stupid hoses and rods that you dont need a outboard or a sterndrive and i like outboards i used to have one and now i got a chapperal with a stern drive and their are the same size and the stern drive goes 25 mph faster
-
The trim tabs are separate devices that are used to level the boat when its in motion. One on each side of the stern, usually.
The bit that raises and lowers the leg is known as "trim" as well, confusingly. Often called "drive trim". It is usually powered by hydraulic rams. Mine went wrong at the start of the season and cost me about 1,600 in all to replace an oil seal! ???
-
inboards dont have them
-
I've seen a couple that have trim tabs. But that's only on relatively small vessels (32 -36 foot).
But of course, there's no way you can raise the propellor with an inboard. SNAP! OOPS....

Of course you can't raise the prop with an inboard, because it is a JET... The jet is above the buttom of the hull anyway so you could hit the hull before you hit the jets.
-
yea its a water jet just like a jet ski and it has a impeller

No, an inboard is where the engine sits... "inboard". That has nothing to do with the transmission method.
The vast majority of inboard engines are not jets, and the power is transmitted through a propellor, not a jet.
Stern drives are from an inboard.
Propellor shafts are from an inboard, unless they're from an outboard. ;D In the case of inboard propellor shafts => SNAP. Which is what I said.
Outboards of course are the only engine which are not fitted inboard. Doh! ;)
-
One thing about outboards. If they go bad they are easy to take off. With inboards you have a large engine block to take out. Ive seen some on boats thet are bigger than car engines. :D
-
just check to see if the ocean marine was right a stern drive is also called a inboard outboard or I/O
-
Just a random question, ???
A "Stern Drive" and "OutBoard" can lift up and down to help with plaining and trailering,
Has there ever been a "Inboard" that was able to lift it's shaft and prop like that?
-
If you want to plaine the boat you need flaps right

Thats why inboards dont get the best gas mileage outboards and stern drive lift more boat out
-

Boats would get HPG (Hours per gallon) not Miles per Gallon. :)
-

Not really, :-\
With boats with tilting engines the thrust is enough to plain.

fountain boats the racing boat company shows there sport boats in GPH but my chapperal was shown in MPG
-
I saw this kind of "Fountain" at the lake that has a 2 axle or 45 foot max. ;D

that looks like a scarab
-
I wish i had this fountain but i dont have a spare 800,000 US dollers
-
I've always wondered, Can you walk on the that kind of bow. ???
-

The stern drives don't actually lift up and down, they change angle.
Yes, most of the modern outboards can do that as well. You may have to pay a bit extra, but anything over about 25-30HP will liekly have that built in.

Remember Terry we have almost identical drives. ;)
-
Boats with inboard engines usually have their screws outboard. :)
Inboard screws usually provide disappointing performance due to lack of water over the blades. :)
Yes, inboards can have screws that tilt.

Yes, inboards can have screws that tilt.
But inboard screws do have the advantage that they suffer less damage if a vessel goes aground. And I suppose these are good cases of inboard screws:

If you look at picture #2,
They are in violation of coast guard law, there for they could be held by Coast Guard or Environmental Police for 48 hours without warrent.
"All Fire Extingishers mounted in vessels 26-40 feet in length must have at least two(2) type B-1 Hard Coast Guard Approved Fire Extingishers and they must be mounted in plain sight of all passengers and free of any hold." ;D

Those are fans Terry. Let’s not get off-topic. ;D

Hi Marty.
Over here, both are known as "propellors" so it's OK.
Honest, Guv. ;D
