If the distributor is turned at all, even a tiny bit, the timing is off and should be set with a light. How big is the boat? I don't normally like running engines here since I am in a residential neighborhood, but am right off the 210 freeway at the San Dimas/Glendora border, might be able to fix it up pretty quick.
