What do you guys think?
« on: April 17, 2009, 07:38:41 AM »
I am looking at two different boats Saturday and both are about the same as far as year and style. One is a 24’ Trophy I/O - Newly rebuilt Volvo 225 and the other is a Aquasport 23 foot with a 200 evinrude ocean pro outboard.

My question is I/O or outboard?
What do you guys think?
Thanks
Rick

I had both and never liked the inboard.  It was easy to work on but never liked the dog house ,it took up a lot of room on my boat. My last 4-5 boats have been outboards

A good buddy of mine has the Aquasport 215 (I think that's the model#)  It's a 21.5 ft. walk around.  He upgraded from a 18 ft trophy WA which he hated!  He's got a 150 Johnny on the back and loves it! ;D

I have an AquaSport 225 Explorer with with a 200 Ocean Runner outboard on it.  It is a solid boat and has mostly been trouble free for me. The outboard would give you a litte more room IMO.

I think the Aquasport is a much better hull than the Trophy.

I also prefer the outboard to the I/O. I had both.

I would opt for the outboard as well..

Had an inboard years ago and didn't care for it...
