What kind of carb is it?

[shumpertdavid]

boat info in general will help. I assume it's and inboard\outboard. The only ones I've ever seen where you pushed the key in were outboards. I'm guessing if it was injected its some form of v-8. As others have stated choke adjustment setting can have a lot to do with it, accelerator pump function also. If it's using an old points style ignition, then dwell and timing can also play a little into it.

that only works in radiators

Verify choke if there is operational. Spray carb cleaner in all the air bleeds to get any dirt out of them. This is if the base carb settings are correct.

Just so you know it will likely not show up on the muffs. The exhaust on a boat comes out of the prop which its under water and creates a pretty big restriction and will make carb problems worse

The exhaust comes out above the water on this boat.

"New Holley 650 marine carb" That's what the guy said. I don't know anything besides that lol

It's an Outlaw Baja. Was originally a fuel injected 502. Now is a carb'd Dart block 540 with Brodix heads.

650 sounds a little small for a big block, however it should still start fine if jetted correctly and the choke is set right.
