Surprised I haven't seen it mentioned on other threads about CC's vs go fast and outboard vs stern drives. I guess no boat is totally immune to the possibility but it is another vote for outboards. Very few holes through the transom that could be exposed and a lot less 'machinery' bolted through stringers and bulkheads too.

Maybe we'll see a spate of outboard freaks rebuilding transoms in the near future, hope mine is not one of them!
