Aside from getting rid of the old fuel, what other things should I check out or watch closely once I get new gas and batteries in?
It is a 540 with dual carbs.
Yeah, yeah, I know - if I used it more, I wouldn't be asking this question.
Thanks-

Replace raw water impeller. Pull the spark plugs & spray some fogging oil in each cyl & turn over by hand. Reinstall plugs & disconnect coil. Use starter to turn over & build oil pressure. This is the procedure I use each spring. After running it for a few mins replace the fuel filters.

Been hustling my azz off for the road trip myself. Everything I touch turns into a can of worms. Went to rotate & balance tires on the dually...sidewalls were dry rotted. Converted to elec/hyd & was servicing the wheel brg's yesterday..have to replace every single brg & possible a spindle. I still have not got my boat wet.
