When you're shopping marine engines propulsion, the first decision isn't just horsepower-it's scale. Do you need an inboard motor that can push a sizable hull, or a compact outboard that fits a small boat? The two engines here sit at opposite ends of that spectrum.
Quick Verdict
If you need to move a big hull and want strong pulling power from a marine V10, the Dodge V10 8.0L Indmar is the answer. If you need a small motor for a light boat and don't expect high speed, the HANGKAI outboard is the more practical route. Pick the one that matches the size of your boat and your performance expectations.
Comparison at a Glance
| Product | Relative Price | Price | Power | Condition | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dodge V10 8.0L Indmar Marine Inboard | $9,500.00 | 305 HP, 450 lb-ft torque | New, zero hours | Inboard hulls needing serious power | |
| HANGKAI 6-12/HP Outboard Motor | $239.16 | Compact outboard | New | Light fishing boats up to 100 kg and 4 people |
The difference in scale and capability is significant. The similarity ends with their condition and little else. The Dodge V10 is built for heavy inboard duty, while the HANGKAI is designed around a compact boat's weight limit and space constraints.

- Marine V10 muscle for big hulls.

Product Notes
Dodge V10 8.0L Indmar Marine Inboard Boat Engine Motor Brand New 0 Hours
This is a rare find: a new Indmar marine inboard based on the Dodge V10 8.0L truck engine, never fired and with zero hours. The oil is still in the crankcase, and the only cosmetic issues are a few scrapes and scratches from years in storage. With 305 HP and 450 lb-ft of torque, it's built for low-end pulling power rather than top-end speed. That combination makes it a strong candidate for a larger inboard project or a repower where you need reliable, grunty propulsion. The trade-offs are the lack of warranty, the few cosmetic marks, and the sheer size of the engine. If your boat is small and light, this is overkill in every way.
HANGKAI 6-12/HP 2/4 Stroke Outboard Motor Fishing Boat Engine Water/ Air Cooling
This outboard is a completely different tool. It's a lightweight motor suited to boats weighing 100kg or less and carrying up to four people, with speed varying as the load changes. A compact outboard is a much smaller unit than a big inboard, and the HANGKAI is positioned for small-boat use. The limitation is performance under load: if you regularly run with four people or expect quick speeds, this engine will likely leave you wanting. Gasoline-engine noise is comparable to a motorcycle, so it's not a whisper-quiet motor. For a relaxed small boat that doesn't demand high speed, the HANGKAI makes practical sense.
Final Choice by Use Case
- Large inboard boat or repower: Choose the Dodge V10 8.0L Indmar Marine Inboard at $9,500.00 when your project calls for serious muscle.
- Small fishing boat: Choose the HANGKAI 6-12/HP Outboard Motor at $239.16 when you want an outboard for a small boat and don't need high speed.
