Default octane for 89 330hp 7.4 liter?

I have been running 91 octane because i live in minnesota and the is the only way to get non-ethanol fuel is to buy the premium. Is it ok to run 87 or 89 octane with ethanol in this engine or am I going to see problems with fuel system componants or gumming up my carb??

I would stick with ethanol free. It would probably be ok to run the 87 octane E10, but defiately don't store the boat with any ethanol.
