Is the inboard the better boat than the out board and is ther a performance differnce between the two?

My concern with outboards...

It probably depends on the boat, the conditions, and the mounting of the outboard... but we sail in waters that can get pretty choppy and I've seen many an outboard on various sailboats nearly get swamped while motoring...

Inboard given the choice

Inboards are usually diesel and much more reliable than outboards. They are also much quieter.

Inboard deisel

I prefer the inboard diesel. If you are only racing the outboard out of the water has less drag. The diesel is much safer than gasoline and more dependable and ecomoical. An inboard diesel is definately worth the extra money in the resale and safety side.
