ive been reading the different threads on oils but not finding much on my question. Whats the best oil for a 525sc? I do a fair amount of idling due to NO WAKE zones if that makes any difference

Why would the oil change based on the motor? Amsoil or Royal Purple are great. Use a good oil and you will be good to go. I would go with Amsoil with a Amsoil racing filter more sq in. of filter media.

my other boat and my vehicles are stock engines..wasnt sure if it would be any different with the supercharger since some oils say that they are better suited for supercharged or turbo motors

I used Kendall GT1 20w-50 in my 525's for 6 seasons. And still use it.

I used a little pump that hooks to a cordless drill. Sucks it out, and put fresh in. There is a front and rear crankcase on these blowers.
Me, I'd change it every 10-15 hours. Some may say overkill, but for under 10 bucks, and 15 minutes of time, worth it. Those little blowers work hard.
