Most of the gas on the lake is 89 Octane. Y-Landing has 91 but it does have 10% Ethanol. The Sunoco Station in Gilford has "Race Gas" but you need gas cans.

If you are concerned with strictly the ethanol many Marina's now carry NavTec fuel (which has the additive blended in).
Ones I know of are Trexler, Channell & WAM .... I am sure there are others Anchor Marine does NOT sell 91 Octane .

During the hydroplane races and offshore races, if seen the boats on trailers being filled at the Laconia airport. It is quite a site!
I do know a marina on Sebago lake sells 'corn-free' gas.

Sunoco in Wolfeboro has 91 or 93 octane but they aren't on the water. I don't know if it's "corn fed"

Based on the price I would opt out. Beyond that..100LL has a high evaporation rate..like acetone. I am familiar with this fuel during my flying days. I don't know if I would want to use this in my UN-Race boat. NB http://www.100ll.com/ |

I could be wrong but I believe that fuel is called ValvTec. Many marinas have it now.

ValvTec it is. Andrew's uses it and although I have fueled at other Marinas in the past who use it, I always get my gas there now because it's where I store the boat. It's similar to Stabil; helps to keep the water in suspension and also helps clean the valves, etc, hence the name.
