The 351W has 400+ ft lbs off idle! No long slow wait to get to 1,600 rpm... The hardest part of moving a boat is getting up and out of the hole...

Maybe I'm not understanding him right, I thought he meant right where a boat needs it... as in towing a boat. Since the ecoboost doesnt exist in a marine application, I figured that was safe to assume, maybe not? Even still, the PCM 240hp motor doesn't make 400tq. It makes about 350, and it makes that at 2200-3000 RPM, not right off idle. If it was a twin screw blown 351, then sure, but it's not. Not that it matters since we're comparing apples to oranges here, but the ecoboost motor has 90% of its 420lb/ft of tq at 1700 RPMS. That's not exactly "waiting" for it to spool. If it was at 3-4000 RPMs where it saw that number, sure, but the EB motors have a seriously impressive tq curve.

I want a big v8 in my boat too, but don't discredit the EB and where it makes its power. It's not the same thing as a Supra (car) with a huge single turbo on it that takes years to spool. These are small twins that spool very quickly.
