Merc 500R vs 520/XR
This is something I've been thinking about lately. With the price of a Merc 520EFI/XR combo being about $40k and the Merc 500R being about $70k, at what price do you still save money going with outboards? Seeing all the new boats being built with twin outboards on them I've been asking myself this question a lot.

Eggbeaters are like a vanilla wife.... reliable, practicle , will have dinner on the table, takes care of the kids, wakes up early to make you breakfast and lunch, mostly likes missionary.
Inboards are like the ditry little slut you pick up at a bar, buy her drinks all night cause she`s a lush, gets drunk and loud and Ferile under the sheets and you wake up with your wallet gone in the morning wondering what in the hell happened and why your dick burns when you pee.

It's not about price. Outboards have just eclipsed stern drives in terms of capability and efficiency.
Every manufacturer is making outboard powered products now. Customers are demanding them.

Its all in the engineering, no one has really been working on new clean sheet designs for inboards, naturally the OB's will be more efficient since they are new, better designs.
Comes with a BIG price tag though.

I am not a fan of egg-beaters on boats, IMHO they have no 'soul', but I perfectly understand the logic behind them, and of course for salt water use the ease of maintenance is greatly appreciated.
