Ummm.. Well they both have aft cabins but one has more room in the engine room. The I/O boat has the transmission hanging off the transom in the water while the inboard transmission is in the engine room.
95 was the change over year. Then there were evolutions around mostly cosmetic changes from there. I personally prefer the 97-99 range mainly for the helm and neutral interiors that seem to age well over time. But hey I'm biased.
Had I/O in our old boat I find I like the inboard more less maintenance no gimbal bearings to lube, no shift bellows to leak, no exhaust bellows to leak, most likely raw water cooling on the I/Os, and the hurth transmissions in the inboard are very smooth shifting.
