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.

It might look good on something like a Rf-235.

Or maybe 3 of them on the back of our trawler, cruising at something
like 7 knots in flat water. I'd have to beef up the swim platform a
bit but not sure how I'd mount the 300 amp alternator and 10 hp
hydraulic pump.
