It's not just about ethanol for some of us. I have pretty good access to pure gas and still use StaBil just in case anything comes up and the boat ends up not being used for an extended time. As far as ethanol goes, I figure that crap's going to do whatever it's going to do regardless.

I have been using Stabil faithfully for the past 3 or 4 years and will continue to do so with this boat as well. Thanks for the input!

I use the marine stabil in all my engines that get seasonal use, all, lets see, 9 of them, and I have not had problems starting them after sitting for up to a year, with whatever amount of gas they had when I put them away.
We have had e-10 gas here at least 7 years if not more and one thing I always do is dump the contents of the fuel filter out and let it sit and check for water. So far so good.
Usually the boat will fire up the second time I crank it over which is pretty good for sitting for 6 months. I pulled mine out the Friday before Sandy hit and started it up about a month ago.
