New 50 HP Pro-Drive Outboard

Has anyone seen or heard anything about the new Pro-Drive?
I thinks its a 50HP Tohatsu Outboard, but would still need a way to be water cooled. Maybe some kind of internal keel cool.
Here is a few screen shots I took of KP's video.

I know nothing about them, but I did see their posts this weekend on Instagram. Should be very interesting if they can get it to be reliable.
Im sure I cant afford one though lol

Pretty sure it's a closed-loop water cooled engine

I saw them at workboat show this past fall. Looks to be a 50 tohatsu with an onboard day tank for cooling. If the block stays cool it should roll and have way more reliability than the hopped up
Lawn mower engines these companies have been using

Does it fall under the air cooled status per regulations?

If there selling 40hp mower engine at 8k. He gonna want 18k just for that. I don't remember what they are new, it's been years sense I had mine are priced any. But they were always over priced mower engine just like Gt and the rest.

I attended this DUX event (specifically to see this motor) and spoke to them in a fair amt of detail about the motor, cooling system and a few other inquiries I had. Have photos and video but not sure how to share here. I will say the cooling system is innovative and the motor is very quiet. This may indeed be the beginning of the end of mud motors as we know them. Did not discuss price, but frankly that didnt matter to me as I am already sold on these.

There is a company called Freedom Outboards that tried the closed loop cooling, looks like they stopped making them but this is the website

I'm over this lawn mower Frankenstein outboard bs.....
Didnt Boss Drives try this when they made there 75Hp Boss Hoss or whatever they called it.
I'm going back to a big mud boat after this season. Will either be a v6 or a v8 and have all the power i need to bust through. Problem with surface drives is they are terrible in lilies and the amount of money you spend now a days u might as well have build something. If you know what you doing i can run a v4-V8 anywhere a surface drive can go in the marsh.
