Not made for bass tournament or ski competition, but I'm sure they have a target for the application out there, somewhere.

Yup it must be some kind of work boat when it is twice as heavy as a
Honda BF50 4 stroke

I suppose it's all about what your definition of "capacity" is.

Oil pan capacity? ;-)
They may be talking about torque or something.
Over on the real boat board, people were pointing out that a 2 cyl 4

Two cylinder diesels are fairly common on smaller sailboats. They
typically have large fly wheels and don't spend much time at idle
