I would store the boat with the tank full with stabilizer. From what I read of the links supplied in the other thread, the ethanol becomes a problem if there is water in the tank. A full tank will not allow enough water to condense to be a problem. I am paraphrasing what I read but that is the general idea.

The other issue brought up in that thread is fiberglass tanks. I don't own any fiberglass tanks so it really doesn't concern me. If your boat has a fiberglass tank then you should do more research.

Finally, when I asked this summer, a marina operator told me that the ethanol gas wasn't being used on the lake so it may be a non-issue.
