Yep it is the LSA, my buddy went for training on them. He a mechanic at a diesel shop which also deals in boats, generally high performance stuff, huge cruisers with diesels in them, also does generators. Anyways he saw one on a dyno and said it was insane.

I'll take one for my 14 foot aluminum please.

what are the advantages of an inboard vs outboard?
I know I can research and find out, just wondering.
I always thought if i got a boat, it'd have a strong inboard v8, is that even an issue now?

Inboard is primarily for larger boats because they require larger motors. The larger motor needs the support of the boat to be mounted in. They set deep in the boat and normally cause larger wakes. The outboards are primarily used for smaller boats such as fishing/hunting/pontoons because they can be easily accessed and creating wake isn't much of an issue.

In a normal runabout/bass boat, an outboard has a better power to weight ratio. Outboards are easier to work on because there is no cover and/or backseat to work around. Inboards and sterndrives are more of a "luxury" because the high end manufacturers use them and most folks that buy them are not mechanically inclined.
