@OneCentKTM wow I think you might be confused... Stern drives are the same things as I/os and you just said you would never surf behind a stern drive but then you go on to say that I/os are the best choice for wakeboarding, skiing and surfing... Confused?
Just so everyone knows, the 2011 Malibu series (I dont know about the vRide series cuz it's the old wakesetter model) can be beached. Sure the Malibu is more expensive, and not everyone can afford it, but it is a kick ass boat, don't even den
There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages to both systems. They forgot to mention that stern drives make faster boats because they give you trim control.
Well, thats a commercial from Malibu... but anyways i would never ever wakesurf behind a stern drive. If your primary purpose is watersport like wakeboarding, Surfing, Skiing... then the i/o are the best choice.
That safety thing almost made me shoot milk out my nose! Any idiot who leaves the engine running when people are in the water around the boat, needs to worry about a prop regardless of its placement. If the motor is off, it's a non-issue. They're more expensive, have lower top end, less efficient, and you can't go in shallow water. Purpose-built competition boat? yes. Versatile family fun ship? NO!
Silly comparison. I had a Bayliner and now have a V drive. The little extra features are nice. Cruise control being one just cause anyone can drive without having to be "trained". But the Bayliner had great wake with fat sacs. Also we have some floating logs on the lakes and the outdrive kicking up was nice. You'll be doing damage with and inboard. Inboards are more of a hype if you ask me. If you got an I/O, enjoy it and be happy about all the money you saved!
the stern drive boat will pay for itself in 2 summers in fun but before you got your moneys worth out of the malibu you will need a new boat, I have a 1996 Bayliner 175 40th anniversary edition stern drive and it only uses 30 dollars of gas after 4 hours of slalom water skiing.
@anthgti OK PLAYER. if you want a fast boat, you're not in this market to begin with. i/os are for amateurs or hot boats.
