You Want To Hit Higher Speeds

Not everyone wants to putter around the waterway. If you dream of zipping across the waters, an outboard motor is a great match. The design and construction of these models lends itself well to a higher speed capacity and faster acceleration than the inboard models.

If you'll use your boat to tow water sports enthusiasts, this speed capacity will be extra appreciated. Whether you tow your kids on an inner tube or try your hand at water skiing, an outboard motor will help make the adventure even more memorable.

You Want To Spend Less Money on Fuel

Outboard motors are usually lighter in weight. This leads to better fuel efficiency. The same boating adventure will burn less fuel when an outboard motor is used. This allows you to stretch your budget further and enjoy more marine adventures.

Since outboard motors are more fuel efficient, you will also be able to travel for longer before needing to refuel. Spend more time enjoying the waters and less time looking for a gas station.

You Want to Spend Less Time and Money on Motor Maintenance

All motors will need some maintenance. If you have professionals handle it, it costs money. If you do-it-yourself, it costs time. Either way, motor maintenance can be a hassle.

Outboard motors are easier to maintain. They are built with easy access in mind, which makes many upkeep tasks possible to do at home. For tasks requiring a professional, the work is often less difficult and less expensive. 

Many outboard motors will not even need to be winterized, which saves you a significant amount of time and money.

You Want More Space on Your Boat

Outboard motors take up less space on a boat than their inboard counterparts. Enjoy more deck space, especially towards the stern. 

This space can be used to store items that make the voyage more comfortable or add more seating options for passengers. 

The extra space also leads to a more enjoyable time moving around the boat. You won't be stuck maneuvering around a motor in your way.
