I have a thread on questioning how safe is it to take a boat out now with debris on the lake. Did you notice anything floating around that you might hit driving the boat?
Did you go into the main part of the lake?
Thanks

Default My own observation

Checked at Mountain View Yacht Club and the price was $4.07. As far as leaving the Breeze empty or full....Stabilized fuel should be fine at the low level. I don't think it's beneficial to the hull to have the extra weight of 150 plus gallons of fuel resting on 2 keel blocks and 4 boat/jack stands for 6 months. When the vessel is afloat, that weight is supported by the whole hull. Just my opinion.

I couldn't agree more... I run stabilizer in my boat all summer long, just so I don't have to worry about the right amount being in the tank when I put the boat to bed... I usually drain the tank down to around 1/3 of a tank...

Question

Until gas buddy gets online and allows easy listing of boating gas prices (I sent them an email last year, and they said they were working on it), let's not forget to update the gas prices here on our own:

http://www.winnigas.com/

This info is only as accurate as we enter it, so every chance you get, please update it, as it helps us all!

If you have an Android phone, there's an easy to use app that accesses this available via http://www.appsgeyser.com/478321

You can see it here:
http://www.appsgeyser.com/getwidget/...0Gas%20Prices/

I also added some personal text:

Please work to kill this in NH and then the nation.

Isn't there something that we can do to stop E10 and E15 here in NH?

I've already spent too much money repairing what this has done to my boat, my home lawn equipment and even an older car.

Thanks for the Winni gas price apps. I agree it would be great if E15 could be stopped. It seems it has so much momentum it may be hard to. It's already here in MA. Maybe they'll be a way to halt it in NH. I spent enough in 4 yrs on my old Wellcraft, some because of age and a lot due to ethanol, to buy a much newer boat as I finally had to last season.
