thats a hard call...depends on if any additive was in fuel, you could try running some of the gas in your lawn mower, if it runs ok, maybe add a gallon of Sea Foam and some fresh gas, also maybe some water evaporator like Isopopyl.

no call at all, pump it out, flush out all hoses,and dispose of properly. adding new fuel to it will only contaminate the new fuel. borrow/buy a portable tank to use until then.

Dump It.

You want the best from your new boat, so give it the best to perform with & I'm sure it'll look after you too.
