As far as the inboard Vs I\O. I have an outerbanks with a kad300. I cruise between 22 and 26 knots and top out at 31knots (Light in flat seas). She gets 2.0-2.75gpm depending on weight and seas. I keep the boat in the water and put 700+ hours a year on her. Bottom line is the maintenance sucks! My next boat will be an inboard I feel they are bullet proof and require way less maintenance, but my next boat will also have twins. If you have a single inboard, a bow thruster is the way to go.
