drain ALL fuel from your tanks

i do the exact opposite. draining the tank would not prevent condensation on the sides of the tank and you could have water waiting for you in the spring when you fill it back up. it's not the gas that goes "bad", it's the tank walls that collect water out of the air when the temperature changes...

the advice i've gotten from mechanics and motor-specific discussion sites is to make sure your tank is full all the way up. add Stabil, be happy.

This is exactly the same advice we've gotten. The only difference is we use Sea Foam now and no longer use Stabil. Sea Foam IMHO has proven itself for us. When we've used Stabil we've had problems with our kicker at lower RPMs. Ever since our mechanic told us to use Sea Foam...no more problems. Here's a link to info on Sea Foam http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUp.htm
