He said it is 210 hp which kinda scares me as far as pulling. When I look this motor up online it shows it to be 360hp. I guess what I'm asking is will it pull a 28' trailer loaded with car, tools and golf cart or should I keep looking?

Big difference between an 8V71 and an 8V92. Can you tell which it is? Either will pull the trailer but the 92 is more powerful.
