    I think that as long as you are using your boat regularly the gas on the road works fine. I have an 88 mercruiser 260 hp and fill it up every year in town before launching with no ill effects. Run it in an old Starcraft also.

    The way I understand it to be ethanol absorbs moisture from the air as it sets in the tank. In the marine environment you have a high moisture content in the air. So if you let the gas set in the tank for long periods of time you will get water in your tank and could cause serious engine problems.

    Default fuel costs

    Fuel prices at Turtle Creek are $4.42. Keeps going up. Times, 1 mile to the gallon. Get 89 octane fuel at a regular gas station if you are trailering. You jaw will drop when you go by the marine fuel docks.
