If the motor is also 1987. It was built to run on 87 10% ethanol

E10 or regular is just fine. There will be issues about E10 or using low octane gas but it is none issue.

Welcome,Profile,location?
You might be close to someone who can help.
Regular pump gas is fine.
Since it has ethanol in it, you'll probably need to change the hoses(if the previous owner hasn't)
Ethanol has a way of ruining the older hoses.
New to you?Compression test.Water sep filter?
Inline filter?

I just purchased a 1986 Bayliner with a Force 125. It smokes a lot. I'm wondering if the previous owner used the proper 50-1 fueling. I'm newt o boating and worried this motor will cause me problems.
