Almost looks like they are veering away from diesel, interesting, ( do they know something about fuel prices )
....would be nice to see the bore and stroke specs to see if it is a true big block or a stroker.

Ford was huge in the marine industry at one time and rumors are that they may be heading in that direction again.

With GM pretty much dropping out of the marine business it might be a good thing for Ford to get back in.

I don’t know how anyone can say that GM is dropping out of the marine market. The performance boat market is booming with LS conversions. Guy has a 100mph, 38’ fountain, with turbo charged LS motors. Thing is ridiculous.
