It does not appear that the crankshaft shown on your site is forged. Hard for me to be sure, but from these pictures:

It appears to have a skinny parting line down the center. A forged crank would have a wide line. This picture shows the difference:



The crank on the left is a forged b230 penta marine crank, 86mm stroke. On the right, a cast b230 crank from a car engine, 80mm stroke. Not my parts, either.
