Inboards are a bit better in bad weather, as a general rule, as the prop is better able to stay in the water... but they are more expenisve and more difficult to maintain in many cases. OUtboards, are cheaper, easily replaced/repaired, but not so good in bad weather. Most inboard engines are diesel, which is considerable more fuel efficient and safer, as diesel is far less volatile than gasoline. Most outboards, with the exception of two Yanmar models, are gasoline-fueled.
