Beyond fuel prices and the weather, my greatest concern is the Ethanol content of the gasoline and what it will do to my boat's engine.

I "control" two boats, a 90 Cobalt and and 86 Crestliner. One is an I/O the other an outboard.

The outboard I know has an inboard aluminum gasoline tank, but I don't know what the Cobalt's gasoline tank is made from.

I am reluctant to put her (Cobalt) into the water until I know. The O/B well, it's just been a bad summer so far.

Yep, weather has been bad, prices have been bad, but I really am concerned about damage to my engine(s)!
