DonReplika,

About my previous statement. The engines I talk about always run at the same RPM, Unloaded or fully loaded, the RPM remains the same.

When you alter the rpm of the engine evenly with the load, it can change everything. I don't know for sure.
 
'still not sure if merely bolting on my turbo to the "new" engine will give me same performance as my existing motor in boat .... whats your thoughts ?'

looking for trouble. Your compression ratio will surely be different and pumping the inlet with a turbo will quickly destroy your bus engine. Loosing your marine block along with cam surely implies further component loss. You may want to implant your normally aspirated buss engine until you come across a wrecker.
