Did you stabile it with the required amount for long storage? Or even better run it dry or at least leave as little gas in the tank as possible.
I've been storing my sleds for a lot longer then boats are stored for and have not had an issue since doing what I mentioned above. We get as much fuel out the year before then fill the tank up with fresh gas when we take them out of storage.
