I would ride around in both first before deciding. My I/O was MUCH noisier than my new outboard and was a big reason I began looking for a new pontoon. At moderate speeds, it was hard to talk and it was very annoying on those slow cruises. At higher speeds, ear plugs were almost necessary. On the newer Outboard models, you can't even hear the engine at slow cruise. Now I can cruise fast or slow and still talk with my passengers.

I see and agree with what Cat's sayin' from a parts standpoint, but for me the advantages of my outboard outweigh those issues....and I haven't seen Steve turning away work on the outboards yet, so I still think he will fix em for us when needed (LOL).
