I keep my boat on the trailer, sometimes in the water but I only have a floating dock... No lift yet. I always fill from the gas stations, very rarely dockside. I fill with low octane (87?) if I am heading out on a long trip and know I'll use the majority of the fuel. If I'm filling after a trip or if it's unlikely that I'll use most of the fuel, then I'll go with the high octane (93?). I have not subscribed to the prices of ethanol free gas yet because I haven't had any fuel issues. For my mower and hand tools I also use high octane but not E free. I used to fill up after each trip (which I prefer so I know how much fuel I used), to prevent moisture in the tank, but now I mostly fill up before each trip so that I'm burning fresh gas.
