I shouldn't see too much difference with 3 feet. It really depends if the hull shape is different.

One thing you might want to check is the place where you have your slip. Most places charge by the foot. Might be more cost than you are comfortable with.

The main difference between the OB and I/O besides the I/O being a fourstroke is the I/O is much harder to work on.

The other thing you have to look out for with the I/O is if you need to pull it out for the winter, you need to take the outdrive off. It should be 6 bolts. Down here at least, people who leave their outdrive on wake up to find them stolen. Other than that, you just have to take care of it like you would your car.

Of course, being a 4 stroke, you no longer have to add oil to your gas. There will be an oil pan underneath that has to remain full.

Good luck,
