Volvo makes a diesel that uses this set up, a bit complex but kind of cool non the less.

This makes little sense. A boat doesn't need power at low rpm's. It does not need a turbo until the rpm's come up and the boat is asked to shove more water aside.
Might only be reasonable in a racing application where they need to get the maximum power possible very early in the game to get the boat up quickly.
