Why not a low RPM TwinTurbo V6 like the eco-boost? Maximum torque at 2000 RPM.

It’s the old saying, torque is how hard you hit the wall, horsepower is how far you drag it with you lol.
Turbos are still no replacement for displacement. They’re great at efficiency though. I dunno how it would react with a prop and a non constant load when you’re hitting waves. You’d get some pretty good boost spikes I’d imagine.
I think the biggest problem would be heat control. The eco boost ford motors use super small turbine housings to decrease turbo lag, but if you watch, the housings will glow red even under moderate loads. Ford had a video online showing how ‘cool’ it was to make ‘so much power’ lol. And those turbos are even water cooled.
I don’t think putting it inside a somewhat sealed up fiberglass shell would not work out well. But I’m no engineer... some one smarter than me will probly figure it out.Overkill is underrated

I completely agree!!! Why not leave the trailer making to the trailer experts and the motors to the motor experts and worry about surfing technology and hull designs. Focus is right, focus on making great boats and put quality products that were other people's focus in them.
I know for some people this might be a sin but the fact that SC uses Ford motors in their boats was something that I liked!!2019 Makai
