Had six gallons of water in the fuel tank. (!)

The area above the tank was not draining and was filled with a $hit ton of old water, algae and gunk. The fuel tank sender gasket needs to be resealed for sure.

Siphoned it all out and she ran like a charm sunday.

Don't say too far. I remember a certain all red Checkmate that made the trip from South Haven down to Hammond then ran all the way up to Racine for lunch. Then made the same trip going home.
