As in other decisions when shopping for a sailboat, the best type of motor depends mostly on your preferred uses of the boat.

就像购买帆船时的其他决定一样，最佳的发动机类型也主要取决于你对船只的偏爱。

With a very large outboard motor, for example, the boat may be imbalanced by having that weight far astern and may "squat" in the water and not sail as well.

例如，如果装了一台很大的舷外发动机，船只可能会因其重量而变得不平衡，尾部偏重，用俗话说倾向于在水中“蹲着”，而影响航行。
