This seems like it would have pretty limited use outside of an airport without extensive modification?

Damn someone beat me to it. It would almost certainly fall into the zamboni class wouldn't it?

Could these be used for pulling big boats out of the water at a marina? Likely need to swap the tires though?

Probably if you swap the tires. They have a top speed of about 15mph. And that seems fast when you drive it. Not light, weighted to pull heavy things.

There is an industrial version of the lima, I've worked on a few. I think there is an industrial version of the kent too.
