I have heard various versions of that story. We have had ethanol gas in CT for the last few years. I've left the tank about 1/4 full the last couple of years. I would not say the gas is useless in the spring. My boat does burn it (yamaha 200 carbed). If you have a carbed outboard, I would make sure to drain the carbs (no gas in the carbs) or the fuel will leave a pile of crud that will clog the jets.
I plan to leave about 20 or so gallons in my 100 gallon tank. I add the Stabil product and make sure it is well mixed in the tank. Don't just dump it in the tank after putting her in storage for the winter, drive it so it mixes.
