Due to my unexcused laziness, I failed to winterize our 2007 17 ft. Legend last year with it's 115 Merc Optimax.
We took it out on Sunday, to do some fishing, and to make sure all is well with the boat for the summer. Put some Stabil in to hopefully maybe help out the old 1/3 of a tank that I failed to stabilize in the fall. Filled the tank up with new gas, and took it out to stretch its legs. Batteries were charged before hand, and it started up as if it hadn't been sitting at all. Let it warm up fully, before I slowly brought it to within normal operating range. Cruised the lake at 4 grand for a good 30 mins, with absolutely no problems, and same result with starting while warm etc. I will be changing out the leg oil, and checking the plugs, but other than that is there anything else you guys would recommend checking out or servicing? I was thinking about also maybe running a some Sea Foam through the tank as well. Also, in case it matters, I use Quicksilver oil. Not sure if it has any stabilizing properties. Any advice would be appreciated!

A: Because the fish are awake. Get in the car.
