    Walley World at one time didn't have any Mobile One V twin oil.
    They did have Castrol 20-50 syn Vtwin oil. Its good oil.

    Used Castrol two cycle oil in my dirt bikes I used to race.

    Well yer in Florida, you might be around a few inland boats.

    Well we was workin on this dudes Mercury he had on a Pontoon boat.
    We had to rebuild the carbs and had to put a stator on.
    I looked in his oil tank and he didn't have any two stroke oil. So we sent him to go git some
    We got everything done and was waitin on him.
    Here he come with a bag that had two stroke oil on it.

    He opened the bag and handed me Weed Eater Two Stroke oil in it,
    All I did was start laughing. The Boss said you tryin to Kill Yer Merc man.
    He replied. Its two stroke oil and I got a two stroke engine.:gah:
    What do ya want.

    Man Please !:roflmao:

    I was using redline 20W50 before, I put in Drag Specialist 20W50. Before it was always at 32 or higher when I first started it and down around 10 at idle once warmed up. It has been several years since I put in the SE 203 cams, they didn't have the new cam plate at that time. I thinking of going to gear drive.

    You will hear more noise with gear driven cams. Nothin wrong with the new Harley SE cam plate with the hydraulic cam tensioners.

    You going backwards with gear drive. for what you pay for the gears. you can git the new cam plate and the new style oil pump.

    If I was you, I would call Bob Woods and talk with him.
    He has the cam plate, it comes with the new style oil pump and I will bet he
    has a cam you'd like better than the 203

    Roller Link Conversion Kit

    Think we might of talked Cowboy into a cam plate conversion.
    Tell me If'n I'm wrong, but I think Chucktx did it for him.

    I always thought an "Inland Boat" was a motorhome or Winnabago aka: Wallowbago).

    How far up inland you gonnna be. ON a lake, canal how big is the body of water.. What does the waves git like on the lake or whatever when the wind blow hard. Is the water deep, shallow, have vegetation in it .
    You lookin for a run about boat, fishin boat. ski boat, or what.
    Outboards are less maintenance than inboards and less upkeep

    One boat don't fit everything.

    We need more info man.:rant:

    I like to shoot the Bull just a tad bit.
    Dang.

    There is not a certain boat that is a inland boat.

    Boats are like tools in a tool box , they are all designed to do different things on different bodies of water.

    And in florida you might be around a few inland boats and have channels that go out to the gulf or ocean...........
