...Is there a defined power plant list?
Naw. Florida title applications only ask if the motor is outboard, inboard, sterndrive, other, or none, and if the fuel is gasoline, diesel, or other.

The "definition" of the terms on the back of the form is non-binding, and just some bureaucrat's own interpretation. Especially when you consider that all outboard models came from the factory with no power at all 30 years ago. Power was added by the dealer, and it was possible to buy the boat without a motor and add one later.

I used to sell SeaCraft boats new 25 years ago, and we never received one from the factory with an outboard motor installed. We always offered the boat with whatever power the customer wanted to put on it, although we also offered "package deals" on boat, motor, and trailer.
