hey there i was wondering what would be the problem for water in the oil would it be a cracked head worped head or a head gasket??? and yea the boat was winterized right for draining the motor and using antifreeze. if it is any of the above (warped or cracked) how would i fix it. it is a cast steel head also on the motor. thanks gfor the time guys

A cylinder leak down test will expose a warped head or bad head gasket.
If you had one of these conditions, you would have noticed it the last time the engine was operated.

Welcome to the forum!!:):)
It could be something as simple as a head gasket to a cracked block. Do you live in an area where the motor was subjected to freezing temperatures? Was it winterized?
