this thread just makes me happy that I have an outboard.

Same here. It is easy to pull the boat out of the water, lower the outboard, crank a couple times and not have to worry about anything freezing. My first boat was an i/o and I would spend an entire day winterizing it. Then I would get frustrated because it would stay warm for another month and I couldn't use it. In the springtime I would wait until I was confident that it would no longer freeze before using it the first time. Had outboards on every boat since then. I also appreciate having more room inside of the boat. The i/o was more fuel efficient though, which was nice.
