Hey dave.. Make sure to buy a bottle of the marine stabil ethanol treatment if you are going to be using gas from the pumps.. You may check with marker 37 to see if they have ethanol in there gas yet?

That is good advice for everyone. Here's some info on the matter:

Robul-
Yeah I always use marine stabil religiously and keep the gas fresh. My motors/rigging are newer and are "E10 ethanol ready" according to yamaha, but I still won't leave it sit long enough for gas to get stale. So I try to fill up right before each run. Same thing with the diesel genset, I run startron in that.
I would stop by Mkr 37 but I suspect it will be packed to get in there for gas this weekend. I will probably do a couple of late nite jug runs and it'll give me enough for a good run either sat or sunday.
If you want, shoot me an email and I'll let you know if we're heading out sat or sunday, should be room for ya since Porky done bailed on us
Not sure yet which day as we have guests coming down and need to see what they are up for....
