And since my boat tops out at around 3K rpm right now, chances are it might not even build boost till it's already reaching it's top speed. And in that case, or worse if it never does, it is just an exhaust restriction. He said I need a blower.

I vaguely remember some thread about this, maybe even related to the snake. Turbos from diesels are no bueno for most gas engines. Missed that's where you were getting it from. Maybe somehting off an old AUdi or SAAB from a yard would work fine. They're probably too small.
By the time all is said and done, you may just be better off with an inexepensive stroker kit + red-neck H&C.
