He said "don't waste your money, they're basically the same engine." Get a spec. sheet and read it. If everything's the same, why not have 10 more HP? Another good answer, but I suspect that it's a case of leftoveritis on the part of the dealer. I have a good friend in the boat business and he will turn himself inside out to move New Old Stock in particular engines. However, it makes sense to go with the 50 if only because, as Wayne said, in this case, morererer is betterererrerrrrr. When I talk to folks about boats, the main complaint is almost always underpowered. Unless he makes the 40 VERY attractive, stick to your guns and get the 50. Ten horse power can make a difference here - the additional 10 horsepower is like adding 25% more Kw. By the way, when they say they are the same engine, that's true to this extent - they may be the same long block, it's the timing and computer controls controlling fuel flow that give you the extra horsies.
