It seems that fedex is only making boat shipping above 70 kg. By plane, 50 kg is 500 euros.
Might I suggest "air cargo"? Many airlines will handle cargo as well. Someone has to pack and deliver the item to the cargo dock and then pick it up at the receiving dock. This is a little more complicated when crossing borders -- it has to go though customs which most carriers (fedex, ups, dhl) handle (and add into your bill.)
As I've said before, shipping these beasts to the US is a Bad Idea(tm). They'll do more good for less cash if they stayed in Europe. (And, honestly, none of those machines are worth the cost of shipping them to FL USA.) [Unless someone is donating the shipping, too.]
