Jamie ....Undo the hex caps on the water pump and check the inlet and out let valves.....lap them in if required . They may have a bit of debris stuck in the seat.

given all the rust in the pipe up from the pump to the cylinder head, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a blockage in the head. You could try blowing into the head rather than just into the pipe and see if you can manage to blow air through the cooling jacket on the cylinder block. if not, then it's time to get the engine out of the boat and strip down the block to clear out the cooling jacket.
