Ethanol Bluz

Ok lets talk about the new gas. Any one having problems with their outboards running on this stuff. Mine had some stuttering and some smoking on startup. One guy said I should put in a good fuel filter between the tank and motor. I thought all the motors had filters.
Any thoughts on an additive or the filter route. Also I just bought this boat, is there any way to tell if the tank has too much oil ratio to gas.
Previous owner told me he added a little extra oil on layup for the winter. I like my 1 pint to 6 gals. Should I add more straight gas or run it down and start over. Again is there an additive to help with this?
