Ap Nami is good but I'm not suggesting Deathcaps Twin Shadows that's 80 AP and has nice scouting and kiting potential. Zhonya's Hourglass has the selfish activate and that's always bought last. But yeah that's 50 AP when stacked. The Frost queen is also 50. Then you have the AP pen in runes. the AP scalings and AP pen in the runes and masteries with Sorcerer shoes for boots.

A common situation in early game is that the marksman will lose a duel by a 100 hp and the support can't finish the job because with no AP the spell does nothing and the markman just runs away. Not the case if you start with 23 AP at level one with 7.8 Magic pen. They don't get more magic resistance per level so it always hurts the marksman until they get a guardian angel which of course is the last purchase in a long game.

Just remember that it's all about momentum with AP Nami. Not damage. If you can't boost a marksman's general strength by having them move faster and be in range to kite people with your water bounces and the E then you might have to come up with something else. Nami in this build needs her zone protected. Marksman can't protect Nami's zone you'll be squishy and not useful because you'll both just get killed.
