The problem isn't so much with the gas that is sloshing around in the tank and the gas that has possibly jellified in the fuel lines and carburetor. I've had to deal with it before and it is not fun cleaning everything out. Fuel stabilizer won't help as the gas is too old. If you can, I would drain the fuel. If you are reluctant to do this, I would at least pull the fuel line running to the motor and see if the gas has jellified in the line. If not, and you want to try and use the old fuel, I would dump a couple of cans of Seafoam in the tank in hopes of dissolving any bad gas in the lines. Put the Seafoam in the tank and mix it up by shaking the boat from side to side on the trailer. Cross your fingers and hope for the best.
