I know most mechanics are very much against solutions in a can, and in most cases they are correct, but from a molecular level, I have found heet to be effective, Its contains methanol and methanol is more effective in reducing power loss from certain fuels because of some thing called "latent heat of vaporization" , this is why I believe it has worked so well when mixed with a stagnant ethanol. both gasoline and ethanol has more power per unit volume than methanol, but the latent heat of vaporization in methanol gives it much more efficient burn, and less power loss than that of ethanol.
Im not saying heet is an end all say all cure, but it can get you out of a jam, with out having to drain your tanks in most cases.
As with ethanol methanol is an alcohol, and you will need to keep an eye on most of your rubber coated fuel parts, alcohol dries them out, and in extreme cases it eats them, so when using heet use just enough to get the crap out,, then ur good.

87 octane, thats what mercruiser and volvo recommends to run so thats what Lakeview has, as far as the $20 i dont understand that......... its supposed to be $30 but that includes valet launch with a tractor both in the water and out. The reason is most guys with a penis small enough to have a 50 foot trailer also have to have a big crew cab and they dont fit in the parking spots so hence the reason behind the extra money, but if people cant afford to launch at Lakeview i hear April Plaza is only $7........

There is a picture of that boat on the FPBC website. The transome is atleast 10 to 15 feet out of the water

got a link?

Great marketing Andy! Everyone hurry and go get your valet launch. Oh for $45 you can get a collector t-shirt

Oh and one more little detail about methanol,,, when a farmer takes a shyt load of corn oil,, soy bean oil,, or any other animal fat,, and puts it in a big vat,, and says hmmm,, I think "IM going to make me some of that there biodiesel stuff all those city boys are talking about",, They dump methanol into it and it starts to fizz and bubble for a second or two,, and viola,, all that goopy shyt he started with becomes a fuel. but anyhow,, I hear,,electric fuel pumps and a few hundred feet of 1/4 rubber hose is pretty reasonable at autozone. :cool:
