YAHOO premium just hit $2.09 a ltr. Let's see now, 2.09 X 4.54 X 7.5 to 12 gallons per hour makes for an average of about $100.00 an hour to turn thr key on. Sure glad I'm retired.

I’m not sure that one can buy ethanol free fuel anywhere. Boat fuel should be available at a reduced price for boat owners as there would be no road tax.
Years ago you could buy cheaper fuel in BC. Near the coast at least.
I believe that most fuel has at least 10% ethanol. Fuel conditioner doesn’t eliminate the problem. Ethanol attracts water. If the boat is not used often, the water from humidity accumulates. There used to be a website called purefuel that listed gas stations that sold ethanol free fuels. It’s my understanding that it is no longer available.
Anyone have information to the contrary?
I used to buy premium only for the boat and all my small engines around the acreage. Not sure if anyone has made an ethanol removal process.

Solved the problem, could not sell my boat, price reduced to 28500. So I stripped it out, sold the power for 11g, sold the pump for 11g. Built a pod out the back and hung a 115 Suzuki on it. Left the 110ltr under floor tank, made the mistake of filling it last spring. One long day of water sports with the grandkids, 6 long days fishing including a 40 mile run down Ottsa. And now I have to figure what to do with the 35ltrs I just pumped out.
The boat is huge inside without the motor and fuel tanks. And with the power behind the full transom you can talk at a normal volume when cruising.
Yes I will build another pump boat. I have a 2.3 turbo diesel that I will put an AT309 behind. That in another 14ft like my other one I sold with the v6 772 combo. I will post photos on the build.
