Hello Dan, FAR Sec. 21.303 says "....no person may produce a modification
or replacement
part for sale for installation on a type certificated product unless it is
produced pursuant to a Parts Manufacturer Approval issued under this
subpart."
I would suspect that the person producing these starters does not have PMA
for them so in order to avoid violating FAR Sec. 21.303 he says they are
strictly for airboats.
The regulations preventing people from installing these starters on type
certificated aircraft are a little more indistinct or unknown and a person
could install one on a type certificated aircraft either out of ignorance of
the regulations or outright flouting of the regulations.**
There is no regulation that would prevent a person from using such a starter
on an amateur built experimental aircraft.

**PS: What FAR prevents the installation of non approved parts in type
certificated aircraft?
The closest that I can come to such a prohibition is FAR Sec 43.13 (b) which
says "Each person maintaining or altering, or performing preventive
maintenance, shall do that work in such a manner and use materials of such a
quality, that the condition of the aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine,
propeller, or appliance worked on will be at least equal to its original or
properly altered condition with regard to aerodynamic function, structural
strength, resistance to vibration and deterioration, and other qualities
affecting airworthiness."
