thank you for the idea yes sir room isn’t gonna be a problem what kinda concerns me if being able to find the piping to complete the task seeing this set up does help give me a little since of direction I just need to find me a good air to air that isn’t to big but still very efficient, also not sure if I need to locate me a blow off vavle as well and plum all of that in
Some will say you need a Garrett and the rest are junk, but I've used Treadstone, Bell, and CSF with good results. The Treadstone TR1245R would get you going for around $500.
You could also repurpose something like a CSF diesel truck intercooler that are pretty large with a 25x21" core since you have the room and only $350
At that sort of consistent load, I would be more worried about the short block than anything else. This isn't a drag car that sees loads for 10 seconds. You are more in the land speed racing territory here...This is where things like piston squirters, dry sump oiling systems with big coolers, and bullet proof intercooling are not optional.
as far as bottom end components money was not a issue I do wish after this build I would have spent the money on a lsx next gen dart block and build a 632 cubic inch big block however I did not and I don’t want to build another engine at this current time maybe in a few years I’ll do it.

An oil cooler would be easy and a good idea. I dont think he wants to tear down his engine for squirters. Lots of LS boat guys running without a dry sump or very big coolers.
This one is a pretty basic twin turbo with a fairly small air to air intercooler and about the same power as OP's goal, hits 1450 EGT WOT and just hangs out there cruising without issue.

min hoping with the extra power of the procharger that I will not have to hold it at 6300 rpm for very long that’s just when the restate gets real sticky, I did put a 9 quart oil pan on the boat hopeing that the extra capacity will help with cooling some as well also have to keep in mind the heavier I make the boat the harder it will be to push the boat

TR1245 is 35lbs and an oil cooler is only like 2 or 3lbs. Hopefully that ain't gonna make much of a difference, cooler of beer weighs more!

Can you please post pictures of your airboat with turbos? I can post pictures of an airboat with a 600HP BBC that I tuned....Let's get real here.
Again, I have zero experience with airboats but my last LS turbo street car had an oil cooler and it seemed to help.
It seemed to stabilize my coolant temps a little but definitely helped stabilize my oil pressure, after a couple street pulls my oil pressure would take a small hit but would come back once the cooler was turned on.
My current LS turbo car doesn't have one but I'm looking at adding one.
Hell, if you use the adapter plate its almost plug and play lol.
