I live in LA and am really interested in the SPX 19 IB. I have been told by some people that the IB is a lot more maintenance, and will also cause a lot more problems then an OB. I have also been told by some searay dealers that it is more maintenance, but the IB are very good and as long as I service annually, it should be ok.
I get that an OB makes more sense obviously. But I love the form of the IB and the extra nice space of the swim platform, especially for our little toddlers and her friends to hang out on, without the giant loud motor right in the middle.
But I dont want to buy something that will truly be breaking down all the time and give us a ton of issues, if that is truly the case. What's your experience with these new IB motors??
