Oil advice for a 540 N/A

Just picked up the new boat and pondering the old question, which oil to use. Not sure of the specifics of the motor but it is a 540, Brodix intake, canfield heads and CMI exhaust. It has ALOT of power from 4200 rpm to 5400. Motor has about 10 hrs and has Kendall 25-50 in it. Should I stick with this weight or is there a better choice? Or do I switch to synthetic?

Thanks

Mobile 15-50 is a good choice for synthetic. I like Castrol 20-50 for a dino option. This is a topic that has no correct answer, only tons of opinions. :drink:
