SPARE the tank in the Whaler is aluminum. I checked that out early on. 160 gallons worth in a 23 footer. The only time I have to worry about filling up is when I go somewhere and spend a week on the water.
SO I have a dilemma. Stale gas, constantly. (3 boats don't help) A solution to the water build up in the fuel is to keep your tank full. BUT my average outing I am only burning 30 gal. or less and I like the way the boat feels with about half a tank and the trailer likes it too. (500 LBS LIGHTER) Stabil is working thus far but the one filter is a concern.

keep it as low as you can and add enough fresh fuel to get you thru the day, I've played around with an old aluminum tank, moved it around, in the sun, out of the sun, set it in a boat, set it under the boat, piled wood over it, you name it, I've moved it there, guess what, no measureable amount of water in the tank, personanly I think the whole condensation thing is BS. Better to add fersh fue, if you have any water in the old fuel, the fresh ethanol will absorb it, ya'll remeber when we used to add alchohol to fuel(dri gas) on purpose?
