The dealer is likely concerned with liability issues. Some things people sue over make no sense, but if that boat is ever in an accident, a dealer who knowingly sold a motor that am ambulance chasing scumbag lawyer could argue was too powerful for the boat, would likely be facing a lawsuit.

Parties with money attract lawsuits for the most spurious reasons. His insurance company and the motor companies likely have the dealer under contractoral obligations not to sell motors to be used on boats unless it is within the clearly established rating of the boat.
