Should have aluminum Jason, mine have Bladders, but I read that a boat had problems with the fuel tanks when new, and it may have been mine???

Were all years the same tanks? I have a 2000. How should you store for winter?

With todays gas I store with 1/4 tanks and plenty of Stabil. I put at least 50 gallons in each side in the spring so I know I have good high octane gas running through the engines.

I used to store mine almost full+stabil, but I just don't trust the fuel companies now.....

I always was under the impression that storing them full would lessen the chances of getting moisture buildup...

P.S. the reason I even asked this question was I've heard the earlier boats used bladders, and just plain forgot to pull my inspection caps when in the boat............
