Since it was for a boat, ask if it is standard or reverse rotation motor. Iirc, the only difference in a reverse rotation motor is the camshaft but you'd still need to know.
Also, if that is a large lift cam (like .714) then you will probably need to pull the heads and swap valve springs in order to run a cam more suitable to your needs.

I imagine it's std rotation just because we've talked about it going in my truck but I'll ask. Good call.
As far as camshaft, I emailed him to ask for a part number for it. I've talked to him 3 times today so I figured I could wait for a return email

Sounds like it's gonna be a pretty good fit
Too wild or will I be ok with it?
Still!!!! 
I'll be honest here, I have no idea what any of these figures relate to.
Also, no clue what my crawl ratio is, but I can tell you at the moment I have a 465/205 with 4.56's in the axles and I'm sitting on 39.5" TSL's. I'd love an atlas 4 at some point down the road, but it aint gonna be soon... To be fair though, I'm never going to wheel this truck super hard. No rocks for me. I'll get a beater or build a buggy to do that kind of stuff when the time comes. If you think I should re cam it for 90% street use (simply because there are no trails around here and I don't even live in the same country as the truck most of the time) I'll look into it. But if I can run it like it is I think I'd be happy to do it.
Cams are easy to swap. Try it. I bet it is pretty rowdy. Your crawl ratio sucks but if is is mostly a mall crawler it will be fine (mine is worse currently but the BBC helps it). The @ .050 duration is the the duration measured at .050 lift. It is a standard so you can compare cams better than the "advertised" duration which I am guessing you listed or that is a promod cam.
I think I'll see if we can start it on Tuesday. I think the engine builder is meeting us too, so I can ask him some more detailed questions too. Worst case scenario, I put it in the truck as is and you guys can say you told me so when I swap it out down the road
LOL. We'll see what happens. I just hope he doesn't sell it before I can get up there Tuesday, and it is as good as it sounds. Then I can order some parts and join the dark side
Put it in and run it. If it lacks bottom end then do a cam swap. But me thinks that once you opener her up once, you won't be spending much time below the red line

I'm a little worried that an nv4500 is going to be in my sights next because of this
Maybe one day I can leave well enough alone 
haven't really read the replies.. but just a couple points from a marine guy... it's very, very doubtful it's a reverse rotation motor.. they are very, very rare these days.. 15, 20 yr's ago, not so much... just a cam but worth asking...
btw, those cams can be worth some coin...
and I would venture to guess the cam is pretty damn lopey, going in a blower boat... carbing it wouldn't be much of an issue other than standard big cam issues.. but getting EFI to run right , will be a bit trickier obviously ..
but as mentioned a cam swap is pretty minor in the scope of BB parts $$$'s..

Thanks for checking in Paul. I'm hoping to fire it up and find out how it idles. I may swap it out though, we'll see I guess. Plan is to keep it carbed for now though, so maybe I'll just see how it goes.

Just do it all at once, no need to tear into it twice
Also seriously look into getting a short throw for it too like i have. Such a tight shift!
