Are there any additives I can add to my gas to breakup condensation build ups?

It may still be useable, but if I had to guess you are going to have issues. Been there done that have the bill to prove it.

Stable and seafoam are good things to use next time.

Carb Clean out and tune up are probably what you are looking at. Plus any extra charges for getting rid of the old fuel.

Seafoam may help, but if it's a new motor, the jets are probably too small to really be able to simply flush it out. try it first tho, and continue to add it to your gas every once in awhile

It should be OK I have let a mud boat sit for longer and it still ran. If there is any fuel missing I would top it off then go run the piss out of it.

I am told ethanol is what is killing boat engines. I tried seafoam (recommended by the board) this year and have run mine several times. No problems. Mine is also a cocktail cruiser so I can't run the engine wide open enough to do what fishing boats can.
