My deckboat has a 1995 Mercruiser V8. Would it be better to store it during the winter with a full tank or nearly empty tank?

I've always heard a full tank will make it less likely to pick up water via condensation during the winter. However, with the ethanol controversy, is that still the best strategy? Or does it really matter at all if you add a good fuel stabilizer to the tank?
