yes, you can do it. i've done it before, in a pinch. i don't recommend doing it alot, as there is more oil in boat fuel. after awhile, your one way bearing is going to start slipping when you try to start it. aleast that's what mine did. other that that, just tune for the fuel and you'll be fine. this is all i had to do, and what happened to me.

I do it all the time.
I run 35% wildcat Promix in my boats,
I run the same fuel in my 1/8 buggy and the same fuel in all my plane engines.

When I was racing nitro trucks, I thought that 30% was a lot. When I made the move back to boats, only the sport boaters ran something that low.
The small-block nitro engines love the fuel as you'll see more of a difference on them.
