They did build some outboard versions, 4 rotors to hear my friend tell it.
Never did a production outboard to my knowledge, though.

Yes, those 4 rotor racing outboards were putting out about 200 hp/liter
normally aspirated in the early 70's.  They had about 500 cc chambers.  It
was a 400 hp engine that probably weighed about 150 lb. and fit in a
outboard cowl that would hold about a 500 cc two-stroke.  Not fair!  Get
rid of them!
