I think part of the main reason for this is that it does not produce low end torque which most marine engines require.
I've seen guys swap out performance car engines into boats and their power dropped right off, at least where they want it (ie: 'out of the hole- go')...much to their surprise, again noting that boats (like trucks) need and want their power 'big' at the bottom end to get things moving.
...interesting to keep the feedback coming.
Is the truck in question a 3/4 ton? or a 1/2 ton?...noting the 3/4 ton is heavier again.
All good
