Lots of low end torque but unfortunately it weighs close to 400
pounds.


I am not sure how you sell a 400 pound 50 HP motor. What kind of boat
does this go on?
Maybe some kind of small, displacement hull trawler or something I am
talking about a real fishing boat not a recreational "trawler" like
you have, a boat dragging a big net. It might also be useful on a
"pusher" boat like they use to move work barges around.
