Default Its fine to run race fuel... just make sure its UNLEADED... I'm sure if he has a bad *** boat..

it would run on super high octane leaded fuel. Stick to unleaded and you'll be fine.

Default It leans out the engine. Keep an eye on your EGT's.

Also, race fuel and lower octains (90,91,92 especially) do not mix that well. You could have very uneven fuel mixtures which could hurt the car. BUT, I would imagine you will be fine.

Default Sorry No. Natiques dont have corvette crate motors. They use Ford motors.

I have a natique Super Sport. Unless he has a BRAND NEW 2003, he has a ford motor too. In which case, if it is a 2003, he has a 6.0 Liter Chevy motor, or smaller (>5.4) liter motor. I wouldnt recommend running Race fuel in any "normal" boat (non mercruiser >500 hp). Not to mention it would be WAY expensive, considering a boat will go through 2 30 gallon tanks in 1 day of boating.
